Rhg1084 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Would you give up a 3rd for Mack? Only 30 years old, could solve our edge issue if it turns out JD and Saleh don’t like Karlaftis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAD_Brooklyn Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Too much died money involved for the Bears to trade Mack. But if that wasn't the case, fair value would be an early 2nd rounder due to salary and injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I would give up a 3rd for Mack in a second. A front 7 with Mack + Williams + Lawson would be insane. It would benefit our corners more than anything too since they do not have to cover for so long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a player of his caliber would relieve a lot of stress about getting an edge in the draft. Especially if they’re not sold on any of these guys. Would free up Douglas to build rest of roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to take players they feel confident will produce, not shoot for superstars who might bust. If it’s defense, so be it, but they better uncharacteristically open the purse strings in free agency if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know he really justified that trade with 1 year of double digit sacks. As for trading for him now: 1- we would be rebuilding with 2 30 year old LBers. 2- Mack and Mosley would combine for 48 million against our cap. 3- I would trade a 3rd for Mack if they took Mosley off our hands in exchange.

No idea if that makes sense for the Bears (cap savings wise going forward) Mack's cap hit would become $17.75M if traded. That's absolutely nothing to complain about and with that sort of cap hit he would demand a new contract structure of course lol. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having two 30 year veterans. If anything that should help not hurt our defensive unit. Carolina's 2nd rounder should get the deal done but this is all mute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undertow Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Interesting how most of these high profile trades people scream about turn out to be steals for the teams trading the player. Giving up multiple 1s is never a good idea unless it's for a top 10 QB. One of those picks was Josh Jacobs you wouldn't trade him straight up for Mack right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetluv58 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 30 does seem to be a dividing line of sorts for many players. Could be he will have lost a step by next fall. Remember how enamored we were with LeVeon in theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 No way are we throwing draft picks and a ton of money at older players ... we'll draft our own and develop them. If anything we'll trade draft picks to move up for specific players (e.g. AVT) but on the whole things aren't likely to change in terms of our approach this year. I know people get excited for big splash moves every off season, but that's not this GMs way. Think of last year, we signed Lawson as a FA, that was our biggest "splash". Other than that ... Corey Davis? Jarrad Davis? Hardly blockbuster stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 5 hours ago, peebag said: 24 mil hit?? I dont think they do that Yeah, I don't see them carrying a $24M dead cap number for Mack just to save $6M against the cap. If they are going to move on, 2023 looks much more likely - still an $11.6M dead cap figure, but a net saving of just under $19M against the cap.

ncjetman Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 we should trade for tom brady - might be available cause he’s old - no wait how about nick bosa? might be available cause sf is a scary place right now - wait how about his brother joey? - he might be available cause chargers missed the playoff - how about devante adams? he might be available - i mean who likes the desert really? get it? it isn’t fantasy football Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I believe the Jets are open to trading draft assets for an established vet, but I doubt that they’d do it for a player much older than 26. This isn’t a win now team, it’s a win sometime soon team. They need players who will continue to be foundational in 2-3 years, not players they need to replace in that timeframe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Yes, lets trade draft picks for older players who make a ton of money. This is right out of the mike mccagnan playbook.

GreenFish Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I would not trade for him. I have a feeling we will trade for a veteran though. Just dont Mack is the right guy. Have a feeling we will follow the Bills blue print and trade for a WR. Somebody like Amari Cooper (27 y.o.) would make more sense than Khalil Mack.
