This is a trade report, not a done deal: Jay Glazer reports the Bears have already talked to the Chargers about Khalil Mack, and Adam Schefter reports Chicago keeps calling — while Los Angeles says it is not looking to trade him.

A Khalil Mack trade report is leading the deadline chatter, and it needs to be read exactly as a report. FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer said on Sunday’s pregame show that the Chicago Bears have already talked with the Los Angeles Chargers about Mack, per Windy City Gridiron and Heavy. No trade has been completed, and the Chargers have given no indication they are willing to make one, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter via Windy City Gridiron.
What Glazer actually said
Glazer framed Chicago as the NFC North’s deadline aggressor. “I think of the teams in the NFC North, there’s going to be one team that’s going to be really aggressive when it comes to the trade deadline — I think that will be the Chicago Bears,” Glazer said, per Heavy. “I know they’ve already talked to you know, the Chargers, saying, ‘Hey, what about a guy like Khalil Mack?’ I think they’re going to be very aggressive. Ryan Poles, that’s what he does. More aggressive than the other teams in that division.”
Schefter’s Sunday segment pointed the same direction from the other side of the phone. The Chargers keep telling teams they do not intend to move Mack because they want to win games, but Schefter noted you have to wonder about a team like Chicago, “who keep calling to try to bring Khalil Mack back to Chicago,” per Windy City Gridiron.
Why the reunion talk makes sense
The football case is easy to follow. Chicago is 5-2, per Bleacher Nation, while Los Angeles is 0-6, per Windy City Gridiron. Mack, 35, has tallied five tackles for loss and three sacks through six games this season, per Heavy. He also has a real Chicago past: a reunion would bring back a pass rusher Bears fans already know from his earlier run with the team, and Glazer’s report notes Chicago could also look at other defensive help, including defensive tackle DeForest Buckner of the Colts or cornerback Tariq Woolen of the Eagles, per Heavy.
The clock is the story now
The NFL trade deadline is November 10 at 3:00 p.m. CT, per Windy City Gridiron. The Chargers are on a bye this week, then play on the road against the Rams on November 1 and host the Texans on November 8 — two results that could decide whether a 0-6 team holds its veterans or listens harder, per Windy City Gridiron. Until Los Angeles changes its stance, this stays where Glazer and Schefter left it on Sunday: Chicago is calling, the Chargers are saying not now, and the deadline is doing the rest.
The 247 Take — Reports are not trades, and this one is not close until the Chargers say yes. But when two of the league’s best-sourced insiders say the same team keeps calling about the same star on the same morning, believe the phone bill — Chicago wants Mack back, and Nov. 10 is suddenly a Bears holiday watch.
