Chicago Bears get best possible update on Chargers’ Khalil Mack
Share your love
The Chicago Bears traded for Jeffery Simmons last week in a bid to improve the defensive line.
Simmons made a huge impact on the Bears in his first game, which ended in a 34-17 win over the Seattle Seahawks on “Monday Night Football.” Still, Chicago would like to add help at the edge and at cornerback before Tuesday’s trade deadline as it goes all-in to win the Super Bowl.
Former Bears edge Khalil Mack has been an intriguing name linked by insiders to the team in recent weeks. However, Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz and head coach Jim Harbaugh have been reluctant to trade the veteran pass-rusher despite an 0-7 start, as he’s a leader for young players in the locker room.
Chicago Bears needed Chargers to lose if they hope for Khalil Mack
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler suggested on Sunday that the Chargers wanted to try and win Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans before re-evaluating what they want to do at Tuesday’s deadline.
In the best update possible for the Bears, the Chargers were blown out 44-22 at home against the Texans on Sunday. Mack recorded one total tackle against Houston, as his Chargers fell to 0-8 on the season and 0-4 at home.
Los Angeles’ defense allowed C.J. Stroud to throw for 384 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. The Texans added 104 yards on the ground.
The Chargers don’t appear to be a team that’s fighting very hard for their leadership. No one saw an 0-8 record coming by the trade deadline.
Hortiz may have a different answer on what he wants to do with Mack and several other tradable players. Mack signed a one-year deal with the Chargers this year, so Los Angeles could trade the edge as a short-term rental and recoup a Day 3 pick.
The Chargers will need all the help they can get in the 2027 draft, because the team as it’s currently constructed is a far way away from competing in the AFC.
