Projected Trade No.5: Robert Quinn to the Atlanta Falcons for a 2023 3rd round pick and WR Bryan Edwards

Again, this is speculation, and given that the Falcons just traded for Bryan Edwards earlier this offseason from the Raiders after the Calvin Ridley fiasco, this deal may not happen.

At the same time, the Bears should not hesitate to try, given that former general manager Ryan Pace currently resides in Atlanta along with several other former Bears executives. Plus, has anyone seen the Bears’ offense right now?

There is no legitimate threat at the wide receiver position, with the exception of Darnell Mooney.

Moreover, the wide zone scheme requires not only specific running backs but wide receivers that can make plays consistently, and right now, the Bears do not have the latter, again, except for Mooney.

This may not happen, but hypothetically speaking, the Falcons’ defense needs a boost in general, and Arthur Smith is known to do more with lesser-known wide receivers.

Also, the Falcons are in a rebuild, and having a veteran leader helps. Given how Quinn wants to be traded to a contender, this deal may not happen, but again, this is a hypothetical situation. It never hurts to try, right?
