Granted the Bears picked up some needed draft picks with Chicago receiving a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick in exchange for Mack. Needless to say, Matt Eberflus' defense took a hit, but Matt seems to think this will be beneficial down the line. "We just thought about what was best for the organization going forward." Mack's departure freed up 28.5 million in cap space that can be used to rebuild the hole he left behind. While we still have our single-season sack leader in Quinn it will be interesting to see how the Bears replace someone, we thought we might have a lot longer down the road. But with a long history of dominant, aggressive defenses, surely Chicago's defense will Bear down again.
