Redskins' Questionable Decision to Trade Quinton Dunbar Will Somehow Work Out in Their Favor

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar's climb up the hypothetical defensive back power rankings looks poised to come to an abrupt end after Thursday's news.

Dunbar and New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker are now wanted men following an alleged armed robbery that resulted in the pair stealing some cash and watches, some of which exceeded $20,000 in value.

Earlier in the offseason, the Washington Redskins gave away one of the hottest young cornerbacks in the game for a fifth-round pick, which seems insane at the time. Now, they might actually win the trade.

Dunbar's departure from the nation's capital seemed extremely puzzling at the time for Washington. He's just 27, coming off a season in which he intercepted four passes, and was due for a huge contract in free agency after the 2020 season. Quarterbacks had a rating of just 68.4 when targeting him. With no major character concerns, only giving up a fifth-rounder seemed like a no-brainer from Seattle's perspective.

Unfortunately, Dunbar's recent actions could potentially derail his entire football career.

Here come the jokes and hot takes on here about Quinton Dunbar.

I can't get past this: He is 27. He has a 2-year-old daughter. He's been on the cusp of a megabucks contract next year. And now he's wanted by Florida police for allegedly robbing people at gunpoint at a party. Sad

This couldn't have come at a worse time for the young cornerback, and somehow a seemingly terrible move by the Redskins will end up working out in their favor.
