# Bryan DeArdo: DeArdo argues the 0-7 Chargers should reconsider their stance and deal Khalil Mack before the Nov. 10 deadline, and lays out three mock trades sending them to the Bears, Bills or Giants in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick plus other pieces. **Claimed:** Nov 3, 2026 **Pundit:** Bryan DeArdo — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/bryan-deardo **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/khalil-mack-trade-proposals-chargers-bears-nfl-deadline/ 9 checkable claims — 9 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > Here are three possible mock trades the Chargers could make if they decide to deal Mack. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Devin Singletary to move to Los Angeles Chargers** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Devin Singletary, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Charlie Kolar to move to New York Giants** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Charlie Kolar, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Khalil Mack to move to New York Giants** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Khalil Mack, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bradley Chubb to move to Los Angeles Chargers** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Bradley Chubb, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Khalil Mack to move to Chicago Bears** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Khalil Mack, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Josh Palmer to move to Los Angeles Chargers** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Josh Palmer, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Quentin Johnston to move to Buffalo Bills** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Quentin Johnston, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Keaton Mitchell to move to New York Giants** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Keaton Mitchell, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Khalil Mack to move to Buffalo Bills** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Khalil Mack, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Devin Singletary — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/devin-singletary - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Charlie Kolar — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/charlie-kolar - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - Khalil Mack — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/khalil-mack - Bradley Chubb — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/bradley-chubb - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - Josh Palmer — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/josh-palmer - Quentin Johnston — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/quentin-johnston - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills - Keaton Mitchell — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/keaton-mitchell ## What others said about the same people - Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed any chance of them signing a new contract with Los Angeles after the season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/60272861-4ad0-4749-b36a-dcdf09b9213f (scored 0) - Sam Monson on New York Giants: Monson picked every Week 10 game, taking the Giants, Lions, Packers, Panthers, Colts, Texans, Bills, Chiefs, Jaguars, Seahawks, Rams, Cowboys, Bengals and Ravens, and also suggested the Chargers' only likely wins the rest of the way come against the Jets and Dolphins. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f4cb7a1e-1380-4f08-b39b-1432b97db846 (scored 0) - Pete Prisco on New York Giants: Prisco picks the Giants to beat the Commanders 23-14 on Thursday night and the Lions to beat the Patriots 30-24 in Munich. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e142b910-0967-4de9-9429-c342bc079205 (scored 35.71) - Jared Dubin on New York Giants: Dubin picks the Giants to beat the Commanders 20-14 on Thursday night and takes the Packers over the Vikings 17-14 in a low-scoring Week 10 game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/04562aeb-eccf-4266-be8e-32a3aacfd6fc (scored 42.86) - Jared Dubin on New York Giants: Dubin picks the Giants to beat the Commanders at home on Thursday night, projecting a 20-14 final score. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b6c19276-74df-4775-8a6e-f67c6d94b773 (scored 42.86) - Pete Prisco on New York Giants: Prisco picked the Giants to beat the Commanders at home in the Thursday night Week 10 game, 23-14, citing New York's dominant front seven containing Jayden Daniels. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/07b5aad4-57ad-4195-bc69-66b1abec33a0 (scored 35.71) ## More trade and signing calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Ahead of the trade deadline, they float three Raiders moves: shipping Kirk Cousins to Minnesota if the Vikings offer a second-round pick, selling Maxx Crosby to Dallas for a first-rounder plus, and acquiring Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for a second- or third-round pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d0fd408a-7dcd-4e50-ac62-6b4510a8a800 (scored 100) - Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Lazarczyk expects the Raiders to be sellers before the trade deadline, suggesting Kirk Cousins could be dealt back to the Vikings and that benched interior lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson is a prime candidate to be traded somewhere. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fda03952-2ea6-4919-8114-0ebb127478d1 (scored 100) - Patricia Traina on J.J. McCarthy: Traina expects defensive tackle to be a top need for the Giants in next year's draft, and suggests the Giants could trade J.J.
