Additional details
- If Chicago is unable to get a deal for Mack completed, the Bears will likely try and use that asset to add an outside cornerback like Riq Woolen of the Philadelphia Eagles.
- In fact, the Bears may try to use an asset or two to add Woolen even if they can get back in on talks for Mack and must utilize their 2027 fifth-round pick to acquire him.
- Harbaugh said publicly before his team’s 22-point loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday that the Chargers want Mack in Southern California, and that Mack wants to remain there.
- But it appeared the Los Angeles Chargers had slammed that door completely shut heading into Week 9 with the NFL trade deadline just a couple of days away.
- His trade value is probably in the range of a fifth-round draft pick, which the Bears have to spare in 2027.
