The Chicago Bears are reportedly pivoting their trade pursuit from veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack to New York Jets defensive end Will McDonald IV.
McDonald, who wears number 9, celebrated a sack during the Jets' Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on November 1, 2026 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The shift in trade strategy comes as the Bears seek to bolster their defensive front.
