Mack was pretty awesome for the Bears in 2018 and 2020 - all pro both seasons and finished second in DPOY voting in 2018. He had his highest AV rating in 2018 (17, which is really high) in 2018. The Bears went from a decent defense in 2017 to the #1 defense in the league in 2018, when he joined. He was the key reason.  He's sneakily putting together a HOF fame career: 101.5 sacks so far and a cumulative AV total of 116. Last season was ridiculous: 17 sacks, 10 (!) passes defensed, 5 forced fumbles, and 21 tackles for a loss.  From The Athletic's Chargers beat writer a couple of days ago:  "They kept Mack, who turned 33 in February. This likely came down to the tape and the upside. Mack was a truly dominant player last season in all facets of the edge position. There is no other way to state it. His impact on games week after week was monumental, against the run and as a pass rusher. He was healthy after dealing with the lingering effects of 2021 foot surgery in his first Chargers season. As a result, Mack looked like a top-10 edge rusher in the league in 2023. The tape showed a player who can continue playing at that level. He is worth paying for. The Chargers agreed with that assessment." Edited March 14 by dave mcbride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) So Harbaugh's first order of business is getting rid of all their good players not naked Justin Herbert? Â Guess he is trying to buy himself max time by starting a rebuild. Edited March 14 by Big Turk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
