Atlanta Falcons receive Khalil Mack

Unlike the last trade we mentioned, this trade benefits both teams and addresses a need that each team needs to fill.

The Bears have been trying for the longest time to find a franchise quarterback. The closest thing they’ve had to that is Jay Cutler and that’s saying something. People in Chicago are growing tired of Mitchell Trubisky and it doesn’t look like he is the answer for them.

Khalil Mack is one of the best players in football.

Adding Mack to the Falcons defense would be the start of a great chain reaction for that side of the ball.

Khalil Mack on the defensive line will make life easier for Grady Jarrett and will allow him to cause more havoc. That explosive pass rush also means our young corners don’t have to spend 10-15 seconds guarding a receiver downfield.

The Bears with the fourth overall selection can finally fix their quarterback issues and they would have a plethora of choices, even without Khalil Mack, the Bears would still have a solid defense.
