In recent news, the Philadelphia Eagles made another big move ahead of the transfer deadline, as they signed pass rusher, Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears. The Bears traded Quinn for a fourth-round draft pick, as they are trying to rebuild.

It is worth noting that Smith joined the Bears team back in 2018 and Quinn joined them in 2020. They spent 2 years in the same franchise and Quinn was like a mentor to Smith. Moreover, they have certainly formed a camaraderie between them.
A few days back, the Bears beat the Patriots, which was possibly their best performance of the season. Smith’s defense was exceptional in that game. Despite the win, they are currently in third place in the NFC North division.

Philadelphia Eagles are currently the only undefeated team in the NFL so far, as they have won all of their six games so far this season. Already, many experts are calling them the favorites to win the Super Bowl, as they have looked invincible so far.
Now, after adding the 3x Pro Bowl defensive end in Quinn, the Eagles have made a massive upgrade in their squad. Although the 231 lbs pass rusher made only one sack this season, he made around 18.5 sacks last season. The Bears finished third in their respective division and missed the playoffs; however, Quinn was one of their standout players.

Meanwhile, the Eagles may not be done in the market, as they have many draft picks left. Before November 1, the trade deadline, they could still make some big moves. Right now, they are focusing on their next game, which will take place at the Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday against the Steelers.
