Looking back at some DL trades, Khalil Mack was traded to Bears for a couple 1st rounders, a 2nd rounder, a 3rd rounder, and a couple late rounders. However, Mack was 27 years old.
Richard Seymour was 29 years old when traded to OAK for a 1st rounder.
When Mack was traded from the Bears to the Chargers he was 30 and had 3 years left on his contract and was traded for a 2022 2nd(#48) and a 2023 5th. Those three years have cost the Chargers $60M (or it will with pushed out restructure money). He was injured and was averaging 10 sacks per year. Trey is averaging closer to 13 sacks playing 70% of the snaps (more than he should).
IMO a defensive rebuild will not pay dividends next year. I would put the money and the snaps into younger players. (OR give him a 2 year extension)
