BayRaider Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 5 minutes ago, showtime said: This must hurt because there were Raider fans that were so certain that Mack wouldn't be traded. Raiders got 2 first rounders from a team that won't be in the playoffs, so that's great for them. This is the first year ill be rooting against a non division rival hardcore (due to draft position). I use to root against the Pats and Niners when I was younger but don't care much these days, just root for Oakland. However, rooting against the Bears is practically rooting for Oakland. Green Bay, Minnesota, Detroit you are our best friends this year. I mean TBH ive always liked Green Bay and Minnesota anyways. My favorite non Raider teams ever are probably the 90's Packers, 10-11 Packers, and the 98 Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you guys got good value though (considering circumstance). I didn't think there would be market enough for two firsts. There were reports of teams offering 1-2-2, which is more in line with what I thought you were going to get. If two ones and a player is accurate, that's about the best you could have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no blame when it doesn't? I invite PFT to suck it. On 8/30/2018 at 9:05 AM, big_palooka said: The Raiders are not trading Mack. All this click bait has gone to everyones heads. Gruden said he took this job because of Carr and Mack, mentioning them by name. Mack is playing on his 5th year option. The team has the leverage in this situation (similar to Donald in LA). Everything will work out in due time. It's the same formula as Donald and others. Player outplays his rookie contract, but is locked into a 5ht year option. Agent holds them out, but in the end, they report when game checks are on the line. Mack is due 13.8 million for this season. It's funny, because Donald is holding out for a second season. Thomas is holding out in Seattle. Little mention, trade rumors, etc. involved around them. But MACK..... it's all the headlines. Why? Because the pitchfork crowd want to see Gruden fail. They want drama with the Raiders and to point at Gruden and say "he's ruining the team". That's it..... this is all clickbait and everyone is taking it.

11sanchez11 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 My best offer would've been a 1st and Marcus Golden. I value him around a 2nd round pick, so a 1st and 2nd basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoric Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Raiders and Chargers seem to be competing to see who can lose the most fans these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
