Yes, you can adjust salary cap hits in any given year, but ultimately over the next 8 years they have a defined salary cap, and he's going to be using around 15% of that. Not to mention at ages 27-33 he will be more injury prone than ages 21-27. I can't see this deal being worth it for the Bears, but who knows.
For Oakland, seems like move has some risk but they save that salary cap & will have two first rounders, and 5 picks in top 3 rounds in the next two years. If they can draft well, this can help their team for years and they are assuming they already have a franchise QB.

Understand that their qb is on a rookie contract. That means their percentage for qb is extremely low, in addition most of their expected stars are also on low contracts for the next 3-4 years. In terms of Mack's contract, that means his salary cap hit will be minimized until the new cba, at which all bets are off anyways
