Report: Chicago Bears’ Khalil Mack trade hopes take massive hit

While the Chicago Bears have already made a blockbuster trade for Jeffery Simmons, they are still scouring the market for any available talent prior to the deadline. One name that has consistently come up in rumors is Los Angeles Chargers pass rusher Khalil Mack.

Mack obviously has history with the Bears, being named to three Pro Bowls in his four seasons with the team. Furthermore, Chicago can still use help in their pass rush. With three sacks and six quarterback hits over his seven games thus far in 2026, Mack has proven he can still help in that department.

With the Chargers 0-7, many are expecting the franchise to enter the trade deadline as sellers. Seeing as Mack is set to be a free agent after the season, he is a prime candidate to get dealt.

But it won’t be that easy for the Bears, or any team for that matter. Los Angeles is reluctant to host a fire sale.

The Chargers face the Houston Texans in Week 9. If they were to lose, perhaps the 0-8 reality would change Los Angeles’ mentality. For now though, Mack and others are poised to stay put on the Chargers, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

“The Chargers still do not appear eager to sell players,” Fowler said. “They’re 0-7, playoffs pretty much out of reach at this point. But they want to get at least one win, get some momentum. The Chargers just don’t seem to be there yet. We’ve got another 72 hours to see how things shake out, maybe they change their mind.”

Los Angeles entered 2026 with serious Super Bowl aspirations. But those hopes fell apart almost immediately. The Chargers offense has struggled to mesh under new coordinator Mike McDaniel.

But operating as sellers at the deadline would be the franchise waiving their white flag. Los Angeles isn’t yet prepared to do that. If the Chargers change their mind, perhaps the Mack to Bears dream comes alive again.
