Bears get Mack

[Vincenzo]

Ouch!

"The #Bears have permission to negotiate a deal with star Khalil Mack, and that has been ongoing since last night. They are the one team willing to go where the #Raiders needed them to go. This is happening."

Didn't see this coming. Ouch, if he plays week 1, the o-line is going to have their hands full. Ugh!

I kind of felt like it was a pipe dream for us to get Mack anyway. There were several teams that had more to offer and the salary cap space. Sucks it might be the Bears, but in our division, that is the team I am the least concerned about. Nothing is guaranteed with draft picks, but they could be hamstrung in a lot of other areas if they have to send a lot of draft picks.

Bears don't have a QB yet. And they paid a premium for their shot at one. Doesn't mean they can't throw a wrench in our plans by stealing a game.

I think that is 5 draft picks in the 4th round and earlier that the Bears have given up in 4 years. Out of 28 picks (assuming you have 7 a year) that is almost 20% of your new talent and all in the top half of the draft.

This surprises me mainly because I didn't think Oakland would trade him away. It looks like we'll have to contend with him now twice a year. Let's hope the price they paid will prevent them from adding more talent going forward.

Mack/pack would’ve been interesting. But with Aaron Donalds contract and Rodgers - teams are paying crazy amounts. I wouldn’t send 2 1sts - and our firsts aren’t as good as the bears or browns would be. I’d rather have 3 decent players instead of one superstar who is showing his loyalty traits that’s a twisted knee away from screwing a team for 3-4 years.

those 2 first rounders (if that is what they gave up) are gonna be top 10 picks too, because other then mack, that team doesn't have much talent

A lot depends on their new offense. Some people are sold, others are not. I bet .500 is their low end result if the offense is anything other than putrid.

Beat writers getting flack about why Packers didn't get him.

For the millionth time today, which team's picks would you want if you're Oakland: GB's or Chicago's?

What a joke. Packers again show no interest in trying to actually put an elite defense on the field. Just bubble gum and bailingwire a team together and pray AR doesnt get hurt. There is not two first round picks this team has made in the last decade I wouldn't trade for Mack.

RapSheet said they were in it. And its two first round picks PLUS something (another players apparently). And Mack will make more than Aaron Donald as well.

The most an NFL team has surrendered for a defensive player is when Vikings traded a 1, two 3’s and a swap of 5’s to Chiefs for DE Jared Allen. Bears trade for Khalil Mack, when it gets done, will top that, making it the most an NFL team has surrendered for a defensive player.

We probably did offer our 2 first round picks. The Bears picks will be much higher.

This is the crap I don’t understand. We have no clue what or if the Packers offered to the Raiders.

But if course that means we “show no interest in trying to put an elite defense on the field.”

Because every GM and team wants to be average so they can lose their jobs every 3 years.

What we know is the Bears have two 1st round picks to Mack. What we know is we have two this next draft. What we know is WE DIDNT GET HIM. That's what we know. Screw this mediocre backwards ass team sometimes. I will be a fan but man this had the hallmark of actually having a chance that's not AR throwing 4 TDs a game.
