The Chicago Bears sent shockwaves throughout the NFL early on Saturday morning, trading two first-round picks to the Oakland Raiders for three-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Khalil Mack.
Trade rumors had been surrounding Mack for the past couple of weeks, as he has held out from team activities in hopes of negotiating a long-term contract. Neither side was willing to give in, so the Raiders decided to start shopping their star player. Several teams were interested in acquiring Mack’s services, but the Bears were the only team to meet Oakland’s demands.
