Khalil Mack traded to Chicago Bears
- Thread starter gmf1369
- Start date
Looks like it's 2 first round picks plus a player.
We will see him in week 8.....

agreed.. that's too rich for my blood as well..
Love Mack, but two firsts PLUS? That is just too much, especially with him being 27. By the time the Jets were truly championship contenders, he would be 30+.
I would, though, expend less draft capital on a young pass rusher. Fowler would be a good fit.

While Id love to see him as a JET - a trade would appear to be nearsighted at the said price(both risky & exorbitant) in light of the JET"s present circumstances - further, paying that kind of money to an outsider(and I realize MACK is an exceptional player), could/can trigger potential chemistry issues(i.e. disgruntlement/resentment by teammates who may feel underpaid etc).
It also could obviously create potential salary cap issues in somewhat near future.
Lastly, seldom does the belief "we are just 1 player away" seem to ever work

Bosa is projected to go top 3. A lot of people think he’s better than his brother. The Jets would really have to suck to get him.
I’m never one to congratulate a team for trading their best defensive player in his prime, but the Raiders got back a great return for Mack.
So Bears traded up from 3rd to 2nd in 2020, and traded back from a 2020 5th to a 2019 6th, to justify giving up the two 1sts.
apparently, can't say Oakland got the better end of this deal... have to wait what type of contract the Bears going to give Mack to see if they actually won in this deal...
Oakland then traded for AJ McCarron, curious...
Everyone was saying it was the two firsts PLUS...well, in this case, it was slightly less than the two firsts, because the Bears got the better end of the other picks in recouping a second for a third.
I dunno, Mack is HOF potential but Chicago may have to pony up 5yr/$160 M with at least $90M gtd after giving up them firsts one injury it becomes worthless deal for them...
It's a move made if you are trying hard to keep up in your division, or if you're one player away from competing for a Lombardi.
In this case, the Packers just extended Rodgers and the Vikings got Cousins. When you have blue chip QBs in your division, you get a stud sack artist.
So who is the player that that Bears included in the deal? Is he any good?
No player. Just picks.
Mack is such an elite player in his prime, I'm surprised the Bears were able to get a 2 back in this deal as well.
I know they gave up a lot, but I'm still surprised they got back a 2

So the original post in the thread was not right?
