Coming into the season, Quinn needed seven sacks to net an $800,000 bonus, and through 8 games, he had 6.5 quarterback takedowns. 

Quinn's sack of Cousins was a game-changer as it ended the Vikings drive and the Cowboys next possession resulted in their first touchdown of the game to cut the lead in half. 

The Miami Dolphins paid Quinn a $1.1 million bonux prior to the trade with the Cowboys. The Cowboys are paying the pass rusher $8 million after they agreed to a new one-year deal.
