Reports: Bears expected to acquire Khalil Mack from Raiders

[JonLP24]

The biggest trade of the year in the NFL is expected to go down between the Raiders and Bears

Khalil Mack is expected to be traded from Oakland to Chicago, according to multiple reports this morning.

The deal isn’t done, but reports indicate that both teams want to get it done. It would presumably involve the Bears sending significant compensation to the Raiders (the asking price is said to be two first-round draft picks) and Mack agreeing to a long-term contract with the Bears.

Mack’s contract will likely be in the same neighborhood as the contract Aaron Donald signed with the Rams yesterday. Donald’s contract getting done gave everyone involved a better idea of what a top-tier defensive player should go for, and it’s apparently an amount that the Bears are willing to pay but the Raiders are not.

1. Advantage of having a starting QB under the rookie contract

Probably good move by both teams.
