That is a steep price. They are getting him in his absolute prime, though.

Dont think Gruden like that mack never showed up to camp or off season activities beyond the money Gruden is an old school coach trying to show the young players its his way or the highway

Bears defense is straight nasty!

[PantherOnTheProwl1523]

Just imagine the Falcons or Saints had gotten hold of Mack. We would be in a world of hurt.

Damn...  i liked discussing the possibilities, but tbh, I did NOT think they were gonna end up trading him to us, or anyone else.  I'd say 8 times out of 10, these things get worked out with the present team...  so, I'm surprised that they just traded him.  

In all honesty, Gruden better come out guns blazing this year, because this was a dumbass, ego-driven move.  Dumb, dumb, dumb....

I mean, he did get two first round draft picks out of the deal. It could end up as a win-win. We won't know for a few years.

Mack to Bears--gonna get scary in the Windy city

If the Bears were one piece away this makes sense.

But two firsts, and a player?

Ehhh.

Well, they might just be trying to re-injure A-aron.

Gruden has taken full control of that team like Belichick. He won't put up for nonsense or holdouts like Mack. He needs to prove again that he's a good enough coach for this to work, and if he doesn't he will quickly lose all his players' respect. I actually think he can do it and like the guy so we'll see. Oh and McKenzie will be out of there's within a year.

Well, odds are neither of them are going to be as good as Mack is, so it's a loss.  When you get a guy like that, you keep him.  I still don't understand why they didn't want to pay him.

If the Panthers were in this  Situation could/would they be able to pay Cam and Luke 21 mil a year?

It's hard to say. Maybe the Bears are a dumpster fire the next couple of seasons and Oakland lands some more elite talent. Time will tell.

If it was me? No way I would trade a player that good and that young.

My boys down in Believeland needed to pull the trigger dammit!
