The Chicago Bears have reportedly received permission from the Los Angeles Chargers to engage in trade discussions for star edge rusher Khalil Mack, according to a report published Tuesday.
The potential move would bring Mack back to Chicago, where he played for the Bears from 2018 to 2021 after being acquired from the Oakland Raiders. Mack, wearing number 52, was photographed in Chargers uniform during a game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on September 15, 2025.
The development comes as a last-minute trade possibility ahead of the NFL's transaction deadline. Mack, a multiple-time All-Pro and former Defensive Player of the Year, has been a cornerstone of the Chargers' defense since joining the team.
