I dont think that's gonna happen in this case.
I think the Mack team is aware they wont get Donald money, and are waiting for the Donald deal to come in so they can figure it out from there
Where as i think Donald team wants Mack paid first so they have the STARTING point for negotiations
Either way in terms of who signs first, i dont see Mack's deal trumping Donald's.
I think Macks will be bigger...
Unfortunately for Donald he’s seen strictly as an interior rusher.
Mack is an edge rusher/outside linebacker.
edge rushers just earn more an defensive tackles.
I don’t think that’s fair.... and I absolutely rate Aaron Donald as the best defensive player in football.
But at the end of the day... 4 our of the top 5 highest paid defenders are edge rushers... and Fletcher Cox is the highest DT at #4.
Add in the Raiders really having no leverage as he is the only decent piece in the entire defence where the Rams have other pieces... Mack has Reggie by the balls.
He’s just waiting for Donald to give him a starting point.
And who’s gonna argue with him... he’s the first and only player in NFL history to be named All Pro in two positions in the same season.
Dudes gonna get PAID... and he f**kibg knows it... he’s just waiting on Donald....
