It didn't take long for the Bears to lock down the newest member of their team as Khalil Mack signs a record 6yr/$141 million dollar extension, which makes him the highest paid defender in NFL history. Mack overtakes Rams Defensive Tackle Aaron Donald who signed a 6yr/$135 million dollar extension with Los Angeles on Friday.
Mack 27, was traded from the Oakland Raiders Saturday in a blockbuster deal that sent 5 draft picks to the Raiders (2019 1st & 6th, 2020 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 5th) .

| Mack became the first player to be named to the Pro Bowl at two positions in 2016 |
Khalil Mack was scheduled to make $13.85 million in 2018 (Now $23.5 million) , but now the former defensive player of the year will make a whopping $155 million over a seven year span. He is one of the premier pass rushers in the league, racking up 40.5 sacks Hua first four seasons in the league.
The Bears paid a steep price and mortgage their immediate future on it, but did they overpay for Khalil Mack? Only time will tell.
