Let's hope he doesn't wind up in Minnesota.

With Jones and Mason in MIN, it feels like RB is a bigger need in GB.

I don't think GB has given up on Jacobs. Jones is injured again (needs to hang it up), and Mason is a far cry from a difference-maker.

I know there is no chance in hell it would happen, but could you imagine Taylor lined up behind Caleb?

Taylor would be bonkers in Johnson's offense.

With all the legal stuff going on with Jacobs and the fact that he is actually running worse than the backups they were already playing seems like they may have less patience with the legal stuff. We will see.

Almost every site I visit for Bears info has strong rumors that we are still trying to get K Mack to add to our defense, even after acquiring Simmons. They say it would cost a late-day 3 pick and about $8 million this year.

I agree, and was trying to post this earlier before my job got in my way. There is still a lot of noise about Mack returning to the Bears. I didn’t view him as a worthwhile centerpiece to get our D over the top but adding him to a front anchored by Jeffrey Simmons is different. Reportedly Mack wants out of LA and a shot at a Superbowl…don’t know if that’s true of just media speculation. It would make sense for an elite vet in what might be his last season. I’m surprised to see him, at age 35, still handling starter amount of snaps but maybe I shouldn’t be. If this trade were to happen I don’t know how we fit him in under the salary cap so it seems like we might be sending them a player. I don’t see anyone they’d want but I would absolutely trade Sweat for Mack.

Since I”m already troling around the AI search:

"Khalil Mack played 68% of the Los Angeles Chargers defensive snaps in the 2026 season.  This figure represents his snap participation through the first six games of that season, during which he recorded 11 solo tackles and 3 sacks."

I’m not giving up more than say a 5th and we get a 6th back or something. If im making a trade I am getting a DB.

Baltimore lost Lamar for the year, and Huntley is also out. Bagent time with Declan? A 2nd for Bagent?

I'm guessing the hold up is the pick. What's 35 year old, non QB, worth? I'd give a 6 next year or a 5th in 28’.

I don't like this (Quotes from Bleacher Nation):

ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter has details on the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings being among the teams sniffing around a Taylor trade:

“The Giants are interested, the Vikings are interested; Broncos, Packers, any number of teams. (Colts are) looking for a Christian McCaffrey-like package back.”)

I looked up this "McCaffrey-like" package as I couldn't remember the details: (Ask Gemini AI response)

In October 2022, the San Francisco 49ers traded four draft picks to the Carolina Panthers for running back Christian McCaffrey:

• 2023 Second-Round Draft Pick

• 2023 Third-Round Draft Pick

• 2023 Fourth-Round Draft Pick

• 2024 Fifth-Round Draft Pick

MIN already has Jones and Mason, and RB is really not their problem, QB is. For GB, it makes more sense, but with the Jacobs stuff up in the air, and the fact that they already traded for Kaleb Johnson, a 2nd trade for a RB would be unprecedented.

I pray you are right, because the only team I would want to see him play for in the NFC North is the Bears. ;-)

Which I would think is impossible.

Oh man, last year the pundits had Baltimore winning it all. I would take a 2nd or 3rd for Bagent, he showed his limitations and needs a game to change that, but dont see that opportunity coming.

I can't see them offering anything more than a Day 3 pick. However, I could see Poles swapping picks. Maybe get a 3rd and give a 5th, not sure that would equate to a 4th Rd pick. It's risky with Caleb still gimpy. Maybe if the long rest this week helped Caleb heal up they'll be more inclined.

Do they have a CB we could swap for Bagent?

That phone call they showed Poles on in the box, lips readers are saying he said a 5th. Does thismean Mack for 5th? I think the Bears need a CB more because our DEs look better with Simmons.

I seen another Simmons connection, him and Lynch played 2 years together in Tennessee.

Yeah agree on the CB. If you only got enough for one you have to go CB. If two, then CB and Mack. If he does two then he’s pushed all in to the center of the table.

I will go on record - I don't have any desire for Mack unless it is near free. I'll roll with our current DE's + Shemar and Ayo coming back and what we have over Mack. With that said - I would be all-in if we could trade valuable draft capital for a dynamic corner back. For example - if I could get a legit DB for a 2nd and future pick I would legitimately consider it, as long as that piece was out there. Sauce is injured so a bad example, but he's a 25 year old DB...I can't imagine Colts move him for less than a FRP, but if I could get him for a 2nd and a 3rd or a 2nd and future 2nd I think I would highly consider that type of move.
