Chicago Bears should consider 3-team deals with Russell Wilson, Jets

Khalil Mack helps the Chicago Bears land Russell Wilson in this 3-team deal
This second deal gets a bit dicier. The Bears do not give up nearly as many picks, but the cost is still great.
Think back to the rumored return for Deshaun Watson, should the Houston Texans decide to trade him. At one point, some were thinking Houston would want two defensive starters, plus multiple first rounders. In this case, the Seahawks would get multiple first-round picks and one defensive starter. But, he’s not just any ordinary defensive starter.
It sounds a little odd to say the Bears should include Khalil Mack in a deal, along with three first rounders, but at this stage the team is far more desperate than they’ve ever been to solidify the quarterback position.
The fact of the matter is, Mack is on the opposite side of 30. While he still offers the potential to be one of the scariest defensive players in the game, his contract is also a little worrisome. For that matter, dealing him and absorbing Wilson’s contract isn’t a bad idea.
Seattle, meanwhile, finally gets help at a position of need they’ve tried to fill for a couple of years now. Not only do they get Mack and three firsts, but also their starting quarterback for this season in Darnold.
The Jets, meanwhile, essentially get a third rounder and Nick Foles for Darnold.
