***OFFICAIL*** Khalil Mack Traded To Chargers For 2023 2nd & 6th Round Pick

That doesn't sound great

Why would it sound greater? It’s not like he’s been healthy these past 2 years. Still would like to have him here but I get it.

I loved watching Mack wear the Navy and Orange. Will miss him. If we are going to play modern football, this was a good trade. I've watched this team for decades and live and die with them every year. So mostly die. It's time to spending the money on the offensive side of the football. This team has been lopsided in favor of the defense since the 80's. I want to see what it looks like to have large contracts at skill positions and a good offensive line for a change.

surprisingly good post

They are taking his whole outstanding contract. Bonus $ already paid they can't take. Will still be $24m in dead cap this year.

Should have got a 1st at least. How is that prime compensation? ?

When did Mack play good enough to get a first?

Yep, it's more about what I'd does for cap relief next season. They will be quite healthy with cap space.

It’s all about 2023 anyways. We weren’t doing shit this year between amount of talent we have, bad cap management, bad draft pick management etc. these are the moves that should of happened last year instead of the restructures that took place to hurt the future years

So you gotta have a cover 2 HC and then you trade away the greatest strength on the team that happens to fit perfectly into this defense. Sounds perfectly Bears to me.

Everything still comes down to the QB from Ohio State.

It's a good start for Poles as he begins cleaning up Pace's mess. Picked up a couple of very needed Draft slots along with the ability to add FA's where needed. Mack's 31 and beginning to show wear and tear with a lot of injuries. Still....a very good player.....but what have they won with him?

I'm just trying to correct this narrative that the deal is clearing all Mack's $ this year.

Only $6 million in cap relief would be kinda dogshit

that's how the contract is structured...Bears will eat 24m this year. Will save 23m next year

Their liabilities next year will only be 109m

They could easily have 10-11 picks next year and 80-100 mill in cap space. Should be a fun offseason

Thanks Coach

One would think you'd want all the help you could get based on your awful content.

 

[nc0gnet0]

Quin might get you a 4th, maybe a late 3rd.

 

[IBleedBearsBlood]

LA got a good deal on this….

I think it is fair for both sides. It’s about recent production, not past years production. Plus they took his full salary.

 

[dennehy]

This also allows them more flexibility to sign a quality OT in free agency.

 

[Britbuffguy]

Is Mack’s value lower than we think? I’m just trying to understand this return.

He had one decent year, followed by two pretty awful and injured years. Did most of you not really watch the last two seasons? He was a ghost half the time he was on the field. You guys are acting like he was peak prime the entire time he was a Bear.

 

[modo]

The Bears could have cut Mack with a post June designation and only had 12m cap hit......the draft choices seemed to be worth it for Poles.

 

[Britbuffguy]

He still should have gotten as much in return as Von Miller. Mack is better than Von Miller at this point in their careers.

Minus the fact that Von Miller actually played last season, while Mack spent most of it sidelined.
