Spokane - The Spokane Shock announced Thurday that wide receiver Willie Quinnie has been added to the 2010 roster. In another roster move, the Shock have traded wide receiver Terry Moss to the Alabama Vipers for future considerations.
Quinnie is a two-year AFL veteran who also has professional experience in the NFL (San Diego Chargers, Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons), NFL Europe (Rhein Fire), and the CFL (Hamilton Tiger-Cats).

“I’m really excited about joining the Shock,” Quinnie explained. “I want to come in and be a leader and I want to learn and be a team player. That’s what it takes to play winning football. Hopefully, things will work out in Spokane and we will win a championship.”
“Quinnie had other opportunities that he turned down to be here,” Head Coach Rob Keefe explained.”Not only does that tell me that he wants to be a part of the Spokane Shock, he also believes this is the best place to get him back to the NFL.”
The Shock will kick off the season on April 2nd as they host the Milwaukee Iron at the Spokane Arena.
