Trade Edmunds and a 4th for Mack. He is the missing piece. Still time Beaner to get this done, swoop in and pirate him. Trading Edmunds seems to be the solution to everything. Why waste it on Mack? Trade him to solve hunger, global warming and create world peace and get a 4th rounder. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 4 minutes ago, TheProcess said: Yep. Contract, injuries, age were certainly less than ideal. Whether it’s Chandler Jones (not ideal on age either) or someone else, I’m really hoping they shore up edge rusher in FA with a legit threat. It won’t be cheap, but I’m fine with that even if it’s the only move we make in FA. Wouldn't mind a mid-level corner either in FA, but that might be too much. Offense can be addressed in the draft as far as I’m concerned. They absolutely need to address pass rush. This was not the way. Even if they wanted to. But it is the way for a desperate GM for a non playoff team with a Qb on a rookie deal who has to make the playoffs in a brutal division and build a fan base, in the same city where the other team just won the SB. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exactly. I think the return for the Bears should probably tell you something about what Mack has left in the tank and plus that contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears aren’t the Bears anymore they’re the Chiefs/Colts at GM/HC. They are tearing it down and completely rebuilding, and wanted to offload the entire contract because they aren’t a playoff team and mack isn’t getting them there this year or next. Nah, I live in Chicago and even Bears fans were like who tf is this guy they hired? No one is optimistic about them, and they’re all pissed Rodgers signed for 4 more years. I love it. Bears fans are some of the most annoying I have encountered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sestak4ever Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Wouldn't be surprised if this triggered was pulled after the Wilson trade was done to go after all the qb's in their division. They will try to bolster their secondary also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 3 hours ago, Process said: Von Miller is two years older and went for more as a half season rental. I get that it's also a salary dump for the Bears but damn, how did they only get a 2nd. Because nobody offered more and nobody else wanted to take on that much salary for a guy that has started to fade into mediocrity. Teams know more details about injuries than are made public to fans. Maybe Mack's most recent injury is likely to impact his future performance. None of us will know for sure until we see him play a few games.

FLFan Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Mack carries a cap hit of $17m plus this year, and $23m the next two years. For those people claiming Beane is asleep, what is your proposal to fit Mack on the Bills given those cap numbers? He played 7 games last year. He had 16 games the year before and produced 9 sacks. I would also be interested to know what about these incremental few sacks added to what is already a top defense screams enough difference to make the necessary cuts to somehow fit Mack under the Bills cap. The Chargers are a non playoff team that currently has room. Perhaps they see this as a move that will propel them to the next level. I would be surprised if that were the case. The next two years of his deal are ridiculously over priced as well. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cap stuff is not difficult when you're a good team and players are willing to re-negotiate contracts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Noggin Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Toddlers lack patience and require immediate gratification, or they become whiny and throw tantrums. Also, many posters in this thread because a trade happened that didn't involve the Bills. Self-reflection, folks. Self-regulation, for that matter. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
