There’s never been a better time for the Bears to bring back Khalil Mack

Writer Ryan Heckman argues that the Chicago Bears should pursue a trade to reacquire veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack from the winless Los Angeles Chargers. With the Bears holding a top-ranked defense and the Chargers struggling, Heckman suggests that general manager Ryan Poles could buy low on the 35-year-old edge rusher, who is currently playing on an expiring one-year contract.

According to the opinion piece, Mack's acquisition cost could be as low as a fifth-round draft pick. Heckman highlights that Mack has recorded 3.0 sacks and 14 pressures this season, suggesting his arrival would enhance a defensive front coordinated by Dennis Allen that features contributors like Dayo Odeyingbo and Austin Booker.
