Jawbreaker and Halftime have to be the same guy.
Throw in Alpha Male too. No Earl Bennett reference from Jaw though.

Khalil Mack is problably the best pass rusher in the game and is only 27 years old! Its a great trade even if it doesnt work out. He can blow out a knee and we basically would have traded away two picks for nothing but the defense is still solid enough that it wouldnt kill us either. We also got a second rounder from the raiders who i think will be terrible this year so that could be a high 2nd rounder. Now it could also turn out that he continues to be an absolute beast and and turns this defense into the best defense in the league while he wins multiple dpoy and we play in a couple of super bowls over the next 5 years and brings a title or two to Chicago. We dont know but you wont ever know if you dont take the chance. Im completely comfortable with the trade.
Love Mack, but not quite on par with Donald and Miller in terms of pass rushers. Very close though.
I think you may be in for a pleasant surprise...
Any of the offseason gurus on here can tell us where we are at with the cap? Do we have enough $$ left to extend Goldman and Amos?
He just signed a contract extension and just hired a hc I think his job was safe regardless
If anything this gutsy move could hurt his job security if it doesn’t work out because the expectations have now gone way up
Your thinking is all wrong on this
Well someone was.
So what. It would take us 2 1st rounders or more to get up to where a guy like Mack would get picked next year and then run the risk of him busting. That and we didn't even give that. You have to pay for production and no one produces better than Mack at one of the 3 premier positions.
That 3rd rounder is more than just a throw in with the deal too. That 3rd rounder is likely to end up being a real ball player.
2 1’s and a 3 is too much
It's too much. Only something like Brady or Rodgers in their prime is worth worth two 1sts.
I said the same thing about Cutler.
Dude I think you can safely go back a lot further than that...what year was urlacher drafted?Please name one player as good as Mack that we drafted in the first, the last 5 years

Trading for a future hall of famer that you can get under contract in the prime of his career.
Let's ask the question in a different way......
Would you rather have a Hall of Famer on the most important position on defense under a long term contract or two first round draft choices........bear in mind there are about 7 HoFers every year......
You won't be saying that during the off season when we missed the playoffs and don't have a 1st round pick.
