The Chicago Bears made a big splash on Thursday afternoon, reportedly trading star linebacker Khalil Mack to the Los Angeles Chargers, and now we’re learning more about how the deal is going to impact both teams financially.
Meanwhile, the Chargers will be on the hook for a nearly $23 million cap hit in both 2023 and 2024.
The Chargers could cut Mack after the 2023 season and only have $6 million in dead salary cap space, however. The move gives the Bears some greater financial flexibility as they pursue players to pair up with quarterback Justin Fields, while also giving them another second round draft pick in a year that they don’t have a first round selection.
As for the Chargers, they are taking full advantage of having quarterback Justin Herbert on his rookie deal, and are pairing Mack with Joey Bosa to create one of the most lethal pass rushes in the AFC. That is especially important considering that the Kansas City Chiefs still have Patrick Mahomes, while the Denver Broncos just acquired Russell Wilson in a blockbuster trade of their own with the Seattle Seahawks.
