From what I’m hearing from all the Raiders media and so called insiders... It sounds like the Raiders are really shopping Mack around...

f**king cheap merkins... if they trade our best player and best first round draft pick we’ve had since Charles Woodson... I’ll be f**king pissed beyond belief.

Interesting thing on this I’ve heard a few people on pods reference

Apparently there is a small rumour another the NFL that the reason the raiders haven’t really engaged in talks and why they maybe open to a trade is because they might not have the cash flow to pay him

Like literally they don’t have the money to put his fully guaranteed portion in escrow

I find that really hard to believe but the Davis’s aren’t your run of the mill billionaire owns and Peter King referenced it a few weeks ago and Jason LaCanfora said it too recently

Might explain a bit
Yeah that’s the suspicion... Mark Davis has nothing to his name other than the franchise.

If Mark Davis had done the right thing by the team and fans and sold the team to one of the heap of tech billionaires up the road in Silicon Valley they would have no issues paying its players and would have a new stadium in Oakland.

They can pay Gruden 100M dollars at the drop of a hat... but they can’t pay that money to Mack who they knew was up for payment 4 years ago.

Quite frankly if this is what it is... it’s embarrassing...

I’m now gonna be scared as hell opening my phone up in the morning because I’ve got a shitty feeling those cheap arseholes are going to trade him before the roster deadline...

f**king pieces of shit...

Our only hope is the f**king Browns out-derp us and offer us Myles Garrett and 5 first rounders... or something stupid like that...

The traffic is all kind of going one way here, seems like Mack is more likely than not to be traded... gonna be VERY interesting to see if he gets move, what the compensation is, and what the team is

The Pack seem poised here, they could give up the Saints 2019 and their 2020, and ultimately lose only 1 first to get an elite edge to add to the D
They have the space to extend him too going forward, making the salary work for this year might be tough though, they'd have to free up 14mil to get him on the roster, then work out the extension

Actually scrap that, they can cut Cobb and Matthews get Mack in the door to get a deal done.... that's pretty do-able

Would love Mack at the 9ers but there's close to zero chance of the Raiders and 9ers doing a deal.

So much derp if the Raiders let him go though. The 2019 draft class is filled with top class rushers, but Mack is a proven commodity.

Par for the course.

Oakland are deadset the Parramatta Eels of the NFL.

Let's shop Mack around!
Let's throw ridiculous amounts of money at Derek f**king Carr (never, ever rated him)!
f**k you, Oakland.

Would’ve liked to see him in GB, but happy he’s out of the division

Miller, Donald every big name got a deal done but the raiders :eek:

Such a f**king joke... dude was the heart a soul of our football team.

It sounds like they made Mack the scapegoat for our shit defence. Never mind the fact they hired that imbecile Ken Norton Jr and kept him 2 years longer than they should have.

I feel sorry for Arden Key and whoever they draft in the first round next year... they will be compared impossibility to Mack.

I’m hopinh they at least grabbed Roquan Smith with those first rounders... I doubt it though.

f**kwits...

Embarrassed to be a Raiders fan.

What a way to kill the excitement for the new season...

f**kwits...

The Raiders have no issue paying a mediocre coach 10 million dollars a year but won’t pay a generational, franchise changing defensive player who is the only player in league history to be an all pro at two different positions? Raiders are gonna Raider..

And they f**king cut Conor Cook and trade a 5th for AJ McCarron... I actually don’t mind it as he’s a better back up then what we have...

And then they f**king cut Martevius Bryant!! After they gave up a 3rd rounder for and cut Crabtree.

They also then traded Ryan Switzer to the Steelers who totally out performed Bryant in camp.

f**k me... I thought this bullshit was finally over.

It’s all destroyed my enthusiasm for this season...

They better start fast this season... otherwise i won’t be f**king bothering with waking up early on a Monday morning or sneaking out of work to watch them.

Just pissing me off...

What’s pissing me off more are the arseholes defending this shit...

I get their point... Bill Belicheck or a good team would never pay a non QB over 20M per season... and if the Patriots made this move people would look at this differently... but f**k me...

When we can have as much confidence in our front office as with those teams I’ll feel better about it.

Those guys have won championships...

So far it seriously looks like we went 10+ years of being absolute dogshit awful to build for one 12-4 season with a f**king wildcard exit.

Now Gruden is blowing shit up again.

I feel sorry for fans in Oakland... this could well be the last season in Oakland and it looks like Gruden might be f**king tanking.

I get that dynasty’s are built in the draft... but I have no faith that these guys will draft anyone with these picks.

I think I’m just gonna give football a wide berth for a few days... shits just seriously shattered me... hopefully the excitement of the new season will lift me back into it...

MOTHERf**kERS!!

f**k this shit.

I can't take a season like the Eels just had, and then follow it up with the incompetent f**king bullshit these arseholes are coming up with.

f**k this shit.

I'm done.

f**k you, Oakland.
