Shanedorf Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 "Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Raiders haven’t slammed the door on the possibility of trading the 2016 defensive player of the year. That said, the Raiders are being coy with the teams that have inquired. Recent reports have indicated as many as a dozen teams kicking tires on a possible trade. Four teams, we’re told, are exploring the possibility very seriously" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the Raiders don't have the finances for the bonus, or they're dead set on him playing on the 5th year option. Which is now worth 11m not 13. I believe you can waive all the penalties he's accured if he signs a new deal, but I don't think they can be waived if he just shows up and plays the 5th year option. Didn't the NFL just up how much teams could borrow from the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it matters because they are currently so highly leveraged. Mark Davis used NFL loans to cover his relocation fees ( $378 Million) and more NFL loans to launch the Raiders new stadium in LV. ( $ 200 Million in G4 money) Those are two massive loans and Raiders are surely among the top borrowers in the NFL. On top of that he secured another $ 850 million in financing from non-NFL sources to cover his share of the stadium. That's $ 1.5 billion in loans for one of the "poorest" owners in the league. His current stadium doesn't have the huge local revenue ( luxury boxes etc) on on par with modern facilities and his new stadium won't be generating revenue for another couple years. Its just a temporary squeeze...he will be fine in the long term. But right now, things are kinda tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Lol. Let the Lions get Mack. They've drafted a tight end, guard, ILB and center in four of their last five first round picks. There's nothing they can do to compete for a Super Bowl win over the next three years with their roster and prospects. Let them get rid of their first round pick this year and see how they like trying to build a team with an elite pass rusher, an okay QB and no draft capital to fill their dozen other holes.

Shanedorf Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 According to wikipedia: "Khalil Mack is an active and devout Christian and spent much of his youth attending a church where his father and mother both served as deacons" Packers should leave a message on his voicemail. It worked once before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t that be considered tampering? I doubt Oak is letting him shop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevein2012 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Even if the Raiders to decide to trade him I doubt we are outbidding a dozen teams. There are too many stupid teams/GMs out there who are desperate for some success that would give up way too much for an elite player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a hard time believing Oakland is gonna trade away a guy like this. Good pass rushers don't grow on trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
