After 1 game?lol

This trade wont be judge till at least 3 years from now when we find out how good the 2 1st round picks the Raiders select with. Of course the Bears won the trade short term.

No, not after 1 game, but after seeing the kind of player Mack was and is since being drafted.  Honestly, i dont care who the raiders take with those picks, it wont equal Mack.  They should have paid him.

how the hell are contracts like these even sustainable given the current cap? 

i mean never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see 100 million dollar contracts thrown at ease towards any position other than QB. If this sets the precedent for future NFL contracts, the CAP better go up to $250 million soon. 

Because it’s the NFL. I heard it quoted on XM earlier he’s the best player in football.

aaaaaand the bears still lose

I was just telling a friend who us a bears fan that i felt bad for him.  That offense looked Clausen-esque.  What a struggle bus...  but, i never understood the first-round hype around Trubisky.  As a UNC alum, having watched him in school a lot, i thought he was fairly unimpressive in a QB-friendly offense.  I thought Marquise was a better pro-prospect and he went undrafted.  I also thought Nagy, coming from Reid's tree, could bring out the best in Trubisky, whatever that may be...  much like McVay did with Goff.  Nope.  Trubisky still looks like Trubisky.  He makes their offense look so rudimentary because he can't read defenses, so he just ends up scrambling every other play.  It is hard to watch.

Its still early in his career the Bears should be running more anyway Howard and Cohen are the stars of that offense

and they don't have any first round picks for 2 years

I was onboard with the Bears doing the Mack trade and going for it but its one game. Can Gruden draft his two #1’s before you crown him stupid? My Goodness. 

Nope, not imo.  Odds are slim to none that those picks could even collectively have the impact that Mack does on a game, individually.  It was a stupid deal, when all the raiders had to do was pay him.  You don't draft a guy, watch him develop into a HOF-caliber talent,  then when he asks for a pay-raise and extension, trade him away.  It's bad business and reeks of an ego-driven move, jmo.

Yeah, but they went out and signed several receivers to help him...  i just didn't see much progression tonight from when we faced him last season.  I mean, maybe the Packers' defense is better than expected, but I doubt it.

Did Kevin White even play tonight?

Man...  i'm telling you, Q (myself) FT.  If we could've found a way to pay him, I would've gave them the same deal.  Mack was always a gamechanger and at a position we needed most.  I think i even posted that originally in this thread but dont feel like digging for it, but man, I wish we would've found a way to get him.  If a team like the Raiders were dumb enough to trade him, we should've jumped on it.

Well we absolutely would be in the playoffs if we made that same trade this year.

This wasn’t feasible with our cap.  We couldn’t if we wanted too.

I am not so sure. We suck that bad. I’m glad we didn’t. We’d be giving up two top 10 picks with the collapse we’ve had. 

With the way this year is shaking out, I'm not even sure if 6-10 will get us a top 10 pick.

Not sure if I would've given up two 1st round picks (and that mega contract) for Mack, but I do think that having an elite pass rusher on this defense would make a night and day difference... wait, I pretty much just convinced myself... yeah, I would've made that trade.

BUT... I don't think two 1st wouldn't have gotten it done for us. Most people expected us to be better than the Bears this year so if the offers were equal the Raiders would've likely still opted for the Bears' offer.

Fair enough, it may be for the best in the end.  I'm pretty confident though that Mack couldve made a difference in at least 2 or 3 of our close losses, which would put us right in the thick of it.
