The Rams will reportedly add a fifth year to defensive end Robert Quinn’s contract.

According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the club will pick up the 2015 option on Quinn, their 2011 first-round pick and one of the NFL’s top pass rushers, by the May 3 deadline.

Quinn, 23, notched 19 sacks in 2013 and garnered Defensive Player of the Year honors from the Professional Football Writers of America.

When the Rams pick up the 2015 option, Quinn will be due a base salary of $6.969 million, according to Albert Breer of NFL Media, who reported the 2015 salary numbers for first-rounders selected with picks Nos. 11-32 on Friday.

Quinn was picked one spot before the Dolphins took center Mike Pouncey 15th overall in 2011. Were the Dolphins to pick up Pouncey’s option, the Pro Bowl center would make $7.438 million in 2015, according to the figures reported by Breer.
 
My first reaction was "well that was obvious" but thinking a little deeper I wonder if this means we were in contract negotiations and he wouldn't extend, so we just picked up the 5th year option?

It might be a contract extension bargaining tool. He will probably play this year under his original contract. After the season the Rams can say we'd like to extend you. Right now you'll earn crap next year, but if you resign you'll make a lot more money. Give him like $20 million guaranteed which will be more than he made for the entire contract. It also gives them some room next year to negotiate with Bradford if they want to resign him
 
Quinn is the face of the franchise. I would let anyone else on this team go before I would part ways with him.
