Is Khalil Mack available in a trade? Should we have interest?

The article also says purchased a 6.5M condo on the Gold Coast in March.  Since this is a Chicago paper I assume they mean Chicago`s Gold Coast and most likely Mack would just rather live in the city than the suburbs.

 

Possible. But it is also a fact that a condo is far easier to rent / sell than a unique house.

Nagy and Pace are in a do or die season.  Any draft choices they get in a trade will be made by another GM/coach without Mack.

Aaron Donald is the best defensive player in the NFL.......a 6 time first team All Pro........3x NFL defensive player of the year..........and they wouldn't have had to trade up for him.

 

 

We could go through every draft and do that honestly. For where we picked, trade up or not, Mack made the most sense.

It won’t beat the JJ Watt thread!!

 

The JJ Watt thread had validity to it. Mack being traded this season does not. And even if they were to - we're not in a position to do it right now.

As I said here at the time.........Donald was the best defensive player in that draft.    He had been the most dominant defensive player in the NCAA as well.    The Bills were in perfect position to stand pat at #9 and select a player who will likely go down as the best DL of the first 25 years of the 21st century(including JJ Watt).

 

The reason why the Bills didn't pick a defensive lineman is because they had "The Cold Front".......a STACKED DL......with Williams/Dareus/Williams/Hughes in place.    Trading multiple picks(including the next year's #1) just to move up to select a DL would have made NO sense at the time.    In hindsight it would have been a good value and a great story though.......but as good as Mack has been......he has not been in the shoe-in first ballot HOF class of Aaron Donald.

I’ve been trumpeting about the 1:9:1 defensive scheme right along, and I have faced nothing but ridicule from these keyboard warriors.   

 

You are just ahead of your time. They ridiculed the forward pass back in the day. 🤷‍♂️

I just don't think it works cap wise. The Bears adjusted his contract to help give them some space which means he becomes very hard to trade. In an ideal world I would have loved to have traded a 1st for him. But this just doesn't add up given the circumstances.

Worst part of the offseason. People get so bored and want to rehash things that have been discussed a million times already. 
Chicago has a playoff defense, if the rookie can win a job or Dalton plays halfway decent they are in the playoff hunt NOT rebuild mode. Montgomery, Kmet, Cohen, Mooney, Robinson.. That’s a young offense with some potential if Nagy can remember how to coach offense. 
 

Its also a great time to sell your home in today’s market 

 

Plus the article states he already has purchased another property......no smoke here folks, AND no fire.  AND no Mack.....

Zero chance he’s available, but if he were Beane should pay whatever it costs to get him.  That would give him a hand strong enough to make it worth going all in.

So be specific - how many #1 picks is whatever?

Good question, and it depends how you look at it I guess.  A few years ago I was shoveling my car out of the driveway after a huge snowstorm.  At that moment, a snowblower would have been worth $1000 to me.  I can buy one today for $300, but I haven't done it.  It's 80 degrees and sunny, so my perspective is different.  

 

When the Bills couldn't get any pressure on Mahomes during the AFCCG, I'm guessing most fans would have been willing to pay multiple first round picks for a guy like Mack in that moment.  Now that it's the off season, people get a little tighter with the purse strings.

 

What I do know is that I've watched that game enough times that I'm supremely confident that Buffalo is going to struggle to slow down Kansas City until they get a true MFer who can put Mahomes on his ass.  I don't think that guy was on the roster.  The draft tells me that Beane agrees with me.  Personally, I'd take Mack over Epenesa, Basham, and Rousseau (for 2021 at least).

His re-structured contract is basically untradable for the Bears.  $38m in dead cap... even spread over 2 years is insane.  Acquiring team would only have $2m cap hit for Mack in 2021.  Not happening.  

Maybe it’s another restructuring, then trade lol, seems impossible, but if it was, I’d trade next years 1st and 3rd for him.

I’m saying watch Epenesa this season. He started to flash at the end.

Milano, Dawkins, Oliver and Mack have the same agent and Mack has apparently become close to Trubisky. So there is a BIlls connection. If Mack doesnt want to waste the best years of his life playing for a non-contender, gains from trade can be had for all sides. It will be in the Bears', Bills' and Mack's interest. The only sticking point is - does the Chicago top brass think they will be competitive this season with Dalton at QB? 

 

If they do, then a Khalil Mack trade will likely only happen after they lose in the first few weeks.

I'd say that the fact that the Bills are a few wheel barrows full of salary cap spending money short of affording Mack this year has more to do with it than anything else.

 

Next year? Addison and Hughes will be gone, and Mack makes all the sense in the world. Come on home, Khalil!!

Has anyone actually watched Mack the past year or so? He's not the same player he once was. 

That is because in the Chicago system the past couple of years, he has been asked to drop into coverage more. He is arguably the best one-man wrecking crew east of the Sierra Madre.
