Grimson just dominates this forum. Not only Bears talk but everywhere else.

Mods can we just give Grimson 2022 Poster of the year already by default???

whew, the Chargers are taking on Mack's contract. Good deal.

 

[nc0gnet0]

Based on what ?

The Rams trade was made mid season as the Rams pushed all their chips to the middle of table for a SB run . There are no teams as desperate to take on 20+ million per year in March so if you find someone willing to do it you have to listen and you are not gonna get some huge allotment of assets from it .

Its a salary dump something many claimed couldn't be done for Mack or Quinns deals

No, people were saying there is no way Mack was worth a 1st or multiple 1sts with his contract.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

Yeah, but what did Von Miller cost the Rams in dollars?
Mack's contract has a lot to do with his value.

Miller cost rams no cap space. Looks like chargers are taking on Mack’s contract so this looks like a solid trade.

Mack has been Just a Guy the last 2 seasons carrying a bloated cap hit. What a great trade by Chicago

arguably a better return than what Denver got for Vonn now.

 

[dennehy]

Frees up like $30 mill next year though correct?

Yep

That’s a ton of cap relief. Opens a ton of avenues moving forward.

BOOM. Poles 2022 GM of the year

I don't love a 2nd and a 6th, but I do love getting rid of his contract.

If this team was a playoff contender in its current state, I'd hate to lose Mack. But it was necessary. I like the Chargers, so I'll still be rooting for him in the AFC. Thanks for all those beast sacks.

 

[Midwaymonster75]

His stock isn't very high. He coming off an injury where he missed significant time. TRADE HIM FOR ROCKS TO OPEN UP CAP ROOM!!

your avatar is funny.

 

[Wild_x_Card]

He still should have gotten as much in return as Von Miller. Mack is better than Von Miller at this point in their careers.

That's very debatable. Miller is older, but has been HOF level productive throughout this career. Both have had injury issues but Miller is still more productive when on the field. Now, I'f we are talking about the explosive Mack from two years ago, I'd be right there with you.

 

[dennehy]

It is going to all come down to if the Bears were able to clear his salary from the books. That is going to be the difference. Mack should have been traded but with the return in compensation, hopefully this means that his salary is now with the Chargers. IF so, I think the Bears would be leaders for having the most space available next season.

They can't. The $24m is all in signing bonus and restructure, which isn't transferrable.

They will get $6m this year. But next year they are now $30m better off.

Quick thoughts:

- it's a good move for the Bears. Mack is coming off an injury, wrong side of 30 and had 3 very expensive seasons on the books.
- can't compare to the Miller deal. Miller was last year of his contract, so there's no long term liability being taken on by the recieving team (Rams). Since Mack has an expensive deal tied to him that lowers what you should expect back.
- 2022 2nd will potentially get you a good edge rusher. This draft is full of them, so might be able to get a younger, cheaper player along the DL.
- I'd be talking to ppl about Quinn as well. Only difference is that he's coming off a great season and is materially cheaper. There's a chance Quinn might get more in a trade.

We might need to send that charger 2 to get rid of that dead weight lol lol

This was before it was posed that the Chargers are taking on his entire contract. Huge difference and thank god. That is the most important part. Good trade for the Bears.

I loved watching Mack wear the Navy and Orange. Will miss him. If we are going to play modern football, this was a good trade. I've watched this team for decades and live and die with them every year. So mostly die. It's time to start spending the money on the offensive side of the football. This team has been lopsided in favor of the defense since the 80's. I want to see what it looks like to have large contracts at skill positions and a good offensive line for a change.

 

[dennehy]

whew, the Chargers are taking on Mack's contract. Good deal.

Still $24m in dead cap this year. The $63 is what is outstanding over the next three years.
