Well if the Raiders weren’t going to do it, another team would. After trading four draft picks for Khalil Mack, the Chicago Bears signed the 2016 Defensive Player of the Year to a six-year $141 million extension, making him the highest-paid defensive player in league history. The contract averages $23.5 million per season, including $90 million in guaranteed money and $60 million at signing. The record-breaking contract capped a week of NFL players making mid-tier-NBA-talent money.
