Chicago traded veteran pass rusher Robert Quinn to Philadelphia on October 26, 2022 for a 2023 fourth-round pick that became No. 133 overall, Tyler Scott. Quinn was nearing the end of his Bears tenure, and Chicago converted him into a young receiver. Scott did not become an immediate star, but securing a fourth-round asset for a veteran who produced little after the trade gave the Bears the stronger transaction value.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Philadelphia acquired Robert Quinn from Chicago on October 26, 2022, sending the Bears a 2023 fourth-round pick. The Eagles were loading up for a championship run, while Chicago was moving an expensive veteran from a rebuilding roster. The pick ultimately became No. 133 overall and was used on wide receiver Tyler Scott.
Quinn in Philadelphia
Quinn's individual contribution was minimal. NFL statistics credit him with six regular-season games for the Eagles, no starts, one tackle, and no sacks. He later went to injured reserve. Philadelphia still reached Super Bowl LVII, but the team's broader success should not be confused with production created by this specific acquisition.
Chicago's Pick
The Bears converted the veteran into a fourth-round selection rather than losing him later for nothing. They used No. 133 on Tyler Scott. Scott's early NFL production has been modest, but the key trade value is that Chicago obtained a controllable young player and multiple seasons of roster opportunity from an asset it was prepared to move.
Comparing the Returns
Philadelphia's aggressive deadline logic made sense for a contender, yet Quinn did not supply the pass-rush boost that would justify the cost in hindsight. Chicago's return was not a franchise-changing pick, but a fourth-round selection that became a multi-year player is more tangible than six games with no sacks.
Final Verdict
Chicago Bears Win. Chicago earns a B for turning Quinn into useful fourth-round capital and Tyler Scott. Philadelphia receives a C-minus because the competitive rationale was sound but Quinn's actual Eagles production was negligible. The Bears captured the stronger lasting value from the transaction.
Robert Quinn produced almost nothing for Philadelphia before landing on injured reserve, while Chicago converted the veteran into a fourth-round pick used on Tyler Scott, giving the Bears the stronger asset return. Chicago therefore captured the more durable transaction value overall.
