Chicago Bears Mailbag: Khalil Mack concerns and much more

Do u think Leonard Floyd is a bust?

I pondered this question for a long time and it centered around what I would consider a bust. To me a bust is a player who ended up bringing next to nothing to the team that drafted him. So in that sense? No, I do not think he’s a bust. Do I think he’s been a minor disappointment? Yes. Remember the Bears traded up to get him in 2016 and have had high expectations for him. He missed chunks of his first two years with injury and doesn’t have a sack in five games so far this year. Not what you want to see from a former 1st round pick.

Do you see Floyd having a breakout game this season? If yes then which game?

By the sound of things, Floyd has steadily improved over the course of the season. Vic Fangio said he played his best game in Miami. This falls in line with his broken hand healing and him gaining more use of it. If I had to pick out a game where he could have a breakout, it would be against Minnesota next month. Their left tackle Riley Reiff has really struggled this year, allowing 20 total pressures so far on Kirk Cousins.

What is the condition for the Bears getting the Raiders 5th round pick in 2020?

At this point the conditions of that pick are unknown and likely won’t be known until they are fulfilled or the deadline has passed for them to be fulfilled. Speculation says it likely has something to do with Mack and his production with the Bears. Perhaps he needs to reach a certain sack total or make the Pro Bowl in order for the conditions to kick in. There’s no way to tell for sure.
