The Oakland Raiders and Chicago Bears struck a huge trade involving Khalil Mack. Here are five more superstar trades that would make sense.
The talk turned to action in a hurry. After the Los Angeles Rams and reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald ended their holdout, all eyes turned to 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack.
He and the Oakland Raiders were also at a stalemate in contract talks, but the Donald deal showed where the money would be. That gave Mack a starting point, but it quickly became a realization that it wasn’t Oakland that would be giving him the extension he deserved.
Trade rumors were running wild and several teams were interested in acquiring the talented Mack. The Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns were believed to be in the mix despite the high asking price of two first-round picks.
In the end, it was the Chicago Bears that pulled the trigger and landed the superstar edge rusher.
With that trade shaking up the NFL, we look at five other superstars that it would make sense to see dealt to a new franchise, starting with another player that specializes in harassing quarterbacks.
