The Miami Dolphins, unsurprisingly, are ready to move on from Robert Quinn. The lengths they will go to move on from the expensive, underachieving pass-rusher, though, should make him more enticing to potential trade suitors than he would have been otherwise.

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Miami is willing to pay a portion of Quinn's existing contract to make acquiring him a more palatable option for competing teams.

However, the Dolphins' willingness to dole out a larger amount of his salary apparently depends on the draft compensation they would receive in return.

A well-placed league source said the Dolphins are open to paying more of the freight to move Quinn. How much more is dependent on the draft pick compensation return in a trade.

Miami already made moving Quinn a bit easier earlier this month when it paid him a $1.12 million roster bonus due last Friday. The team also has a history of facilitating the trade of incumbent players.

Just last week, the Dolphins gave Ryan Tannehill $7 million to agree to a trade to the Tennessee Titans, who paid out the remaining $5 million of his contract. Quinn is due $11.8 million next season, with a cap hit of $12.9 million. His contract expires next season.

Quinn has struggled to live up to the four-year, $57 million with the St. Louis Rams. He had 17 and-a-half sacks combined during his final three seasons with Rams after notching double-digit sacks in each of the previous three seasons.

The 28 year old was traded to Miami last season, finishing with 38 tackles and six-and-a-half sacks.
