Quinn severed as Dallas’ defensive coordinator the past three years. Under his watch, the Cowboys ranked a combined fifth in points and seventh yards. They also led the NFL with 93 forced turnovers.

Prior to that, Quinn served as the Falcons head coach from 2015 to 2020, taking the Falcons to the Super Bowl after the 2016 season. Yes, that was the year the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead to the Patriots.

Before his time in Atlanta, Quinn was the coordinator for two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. There, his defenses ranked first in points and yards each season. Dallas ranked fifth in yards and scoring this season. The Cowboys have been top 10 in scoring defense in each of Quinn’s three years.

The Washington Commanders hold the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and also have $70 million in cap space at their disposal to rebuild this broken franchise.
