The Bears are finalizing a trade to send 6-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Khalil Mack to the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Thursday. In return, Chicago will be receiving a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick.
Mack spend each of the last four seasons with the Bears after then-general manager Ryan Pace dealt a major package including two first-round picks, and he provided them with the star pass-rusher their defense desperately needed right away. He tallied 36 sacks in 53 games with the team, serving as a 3-time Pro Bowler and a 2-time All-Pro for Chicago.
