Bears get Mack

[pbmax]

I see this as a very bad deal for Packers. Mack woulda been a good fit. Mack going to NFC North is a stick in the eye.
Good deal for the Raiders. Maybe excellent.

Bears - well, part of their calculation was the chance to screw the Packers. But maybe they paid too much. Hard to say.

If I am spending top dollar, its on a QB not a player on defense. Not even Revis is worth it in comparison.

Doesn't mean they aren't much better though.

From Rastak's link: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...nsive-players/

This equates to a full guarantee at signing of $60 million. By March 2019, $73.3 million will be fully guaranteed. By March 2020, $90 million will be fully guaranteed.

It’s a six-year, $141 million extension. That’s a new-money average of $23.5 million. (Donald’s deal has a new-money average of $22.5 million.) In all, it’s a seven-year, $154.846 million deal. That’s a total average at signing of $22.12 million.

So, just so I have this right, the Raiders have no say in who they will trade the player to? If the Packers GM wants a player, he gets the player? Is that how it works?

That’s how it works in Madden you idiot! It must be true in real life.

That CBA that was signed to end a lot of holdouts? Has sprung a couple of leaks showing when you should hold out under the new rules.

I think the CBA was mostly directed at rookie holdouts but for key veterans, and ONLY key veterans the holdout is the most effective.

Those fuckers are going to have a completely asskicking defense. They were good last year and they just added either the 1st or 2nd best defender in the league depending on your views.

That said, QBs apparently now wear red jerseys and can't be hit, at least in the preseason. That said, he should still be a force.

If the Bares secondary holds up they will have a top 10 D, and a bottom 5 O

Didn't they already have a top 10 defense WITHOUT Mack?


You could be right on the O part....

Other teams with strong offers for Mack were GB, Cle and Buff.

Packers management sucks and shows they don’t have the will to win. They don’t have top players at every position.

Spend the two first round picks trading up for Nick Bosa and put the extra $10M you didnt spend on Mack to use upgrading ILB.

Raiders beat guy doing Reggie’s PC
Reggie McKenzie said "more than half the league" inquired to trade DE Khalil Mack. Club narrowed suitors to teams who Raiders believed had chance to present high first-round pick in 2019.

Bosa might be the #1 pick. Even trading both 1st round picks wouldn't be enough.

so that pretty much means GB was not really in the running for him
