The Green Bay Packers ought to investigate trading for Khalil Mack.
This offseason, the Green Bay Packers will need to make adjustments to their defensive lineman and defensive end roster. Khalil Mack, an OLB/DE for the Los Angeles Chargers, is one player that may be available for trade. The Chargers could trade some players to free up cap space because they are currently $45 million over the cap.
Mack is thirty-two years old and has one more year left on his contract. According to Spotrac, he will have a cap hit of more than $38 million for the upcoming season. He had 10 pass deflections, forced five fumbles, sacked the quarterback 17 times, and totaled 74 tackles during his season with the Chargers.

32-year-old Ezoic Khalil Mack has the ability to interrupt a game at any time. He is among the NFL’s top defensive players. The Los Angeles Chargers should receive their 25th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft in exchange for him, along with perhaps a later-round selection, if the Green Bay Packers are serious about fixing the defense.
They would still have nine picks in the draft to make necessary improvements to their football team. Mack might also provide experienced assistance to a player such as Lukas Van Ness.

In the third quarter of their NFC divisional playoff game on Saturday, January 20, 2024 at Levi’ Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (13) is tackled by Green Bay Packers defensive ends Karl Brooks (94) and Rashan Gary (52) following a one-yard gain. The Green Bay Packers were defeated 24–21 by the San Francisco 49ers.
If the Packers were to acquire Mack from the Los Angeles Chargers, their pass rush would significantly improve. OLB Rashan Gary would be on one side and Khalil Mack on the other. Gary was the Packers’ best pass rusher the previous season.
Nine sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, two pass deflections, and 44 total tackles were all in his possession. Rashan Gary and Mack would make game plans for offensive lines difficult. For the Packers defense, this would be the stuff of dreams.

They appointed Jeff Hafley as the new defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, replacing Joe Barry. Green Bay’s new defensive coordinator will implement a 4-3 defense. Last season, they used a 3-4 defensive scheme, which could help head coach Matt LaFleur.
This team would also profit if general manager Brian Gutekunst made a trade to acquire Khalil Mack. Mack can line up anywhere on the field for the defense of the football, which would excite the team and its supporters.
