Bears get Mack

[Rutnstrut]

I can't prove or disprove anything, that's why I said "if". I think the Bears are putting together a solid team. Today they got better. We didn't. That's frustrating regardless of specifics.

You have to remember the mindset in GB. Which is, as long as we have Rodgers, to hell with the other positions.

Two firsts? No thanks.

Saw something that Chicago gets Mack, 2nd and a conditional 5th?

See PB’s post above.

My point being the two firsts are the meat of the deal. The second and thirds they exchange in ‘20 could be a wash.

The Bears firsts are almost assuredly of higher value than the Packs.

No thanks.

Bears gave up four picks including the two firsts and a 2020 third and a 2019 sixth. Get one back (second rounder) and a conditional fifth.

The 2020 D1 is often valued as a 2019 D2. Would you have give up, say, a first, second and fifth from next spring's draft for Mack? I would be tempted, especially since they also have NO's.

Look at the Packer first round picks since Aaron Rodgers. I would trade any two for Mack. And that leaves out the duds. MAck is a one-in-a-thousand player.

If it was just a question of those draft picks any GM would take it. Of course there's more to it.

[Zool]

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?

The Bears firsts are worth significantly more than ours, because they will still suck.

Trade official, source tells ESPN:

Bears get: Khalil Mack, a 2020 second-round round pick and a conditional 2020 fifth-round pick.

Raiders get: 2019 first-round pick, 2020 first-round pick, 2020 third-round pick, 2019 sixth-round pick.

So Bears get back second-round pick, too

and Mack plays 2018 on a franchise tag. so...if they don't come up with a contract to his liking he can do the whole thing again.

Until they sign him, all they did was trade for a holdout.

They just made him super rich.

[Iron Mike]

Last time the Bears traded away two first-rounders, they got Jay Cutler. How'd that work out for them???

[Rastak]

Man, they paid this guy shitloads....

Mack way better than Cutler but damn......huge investment indeed.

[Harlan Huckleby]

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.
