Chiefs Blockbuster Trade Pitch Steals Rival $18 Million Pass-Rusher From Bears
The Kansas City Chiefs have been connected to trades for multiple wide receivers, but adding an edge-rusher would fill another major need. The post Chiefs Blockbuster Trade Pitch Steals Rival $18 Million Pass-Rusher From Bears appeared first on HEAVY.
The Kansas City Chiefs are actively pursuing a trade for Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack, reported ESPN's Ian Rapoport on Tuesday. Mack, 35 years old, is currently on a one-year, $18 million contract with the Chargers. The Chiefs, who have struggled to apply pressure on opposing quarterbacks since Week 1, are in need of a true pass-rusher to bolster their defense.
ESPN Research revealed that the Chiefs have only recorded five sacks in their last six games, the lowest rate since 2012. Mack, who has already recorded five tackles for loss and three sacks this season, could be a valuable addition to Kansas City's defensive lineup. While the Chargers are not interested in trading any assets, a fourth-round pick might be sufficient to secure Mack's services.
Regardless, both teams recognize the potential benefits of the trade, with the Chiefs likely gaining an edge in a potential bidding war.
