Raiders are not going to trade him. 2. That offer in the OP is terrible for us. Why would we give up so much for him? We got a lot of good players in the D front 7 including two very good looking rookies already. 3. We NEED to add offense and not spend so much on one defensive player. Our D is set up real well right now, so we need the cap room and those draft picks to address the OL, WR, TE, and RB (McCoys up there in age). I would hate this crazy offer of a first and a 2nd and all that money for Mack, and I love Mack. Oddly, I am not even sure the Raiders would consider trading mack for that anyway.

Jimmy G was not the QB equivalent of Mack....but was a QB. One many teams were high on. Mack is a DE/LB in his final year meaning whoever trades for him has to pay him as well. I don’t think the Raiders are trading him, but if they did, they’re not getting a Brinks truck of picks beyond what the OP offered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locking him up for years 27-32, getting best of the present and overpaying probably last two years on the deal but my god what a D we would have. Thoughts and feedback please I like your contract offer. I’d offer Shaq, a 2019 2nd and 4th and a 2020 2nd that can become a 1st if he has 10+ sacks in each of the next 2 seasons.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I don’t even think we need a LB now. (IMO) Edmunds and Milano are young, fast, modern day LBs that will be the center of this defense for years to come. I realize that Mack is a great player, but it’s a salary cap sport. Go trade for a WR. Don’t give something up for a player at a position of strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Khalil Mack is awesome...that's who I was hoping for when we traded up for Sammy but the truth is with this regime in charge it's time to look forward and stop looking in the past. McBeane are going to continue to build this thing up in house with draft picks and occasionally plug in a free agent where they see the value meets the need. There's no way they are splurging on a Ferrari in free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 i wouldn't go for Mack. he is a fantastic player, but i want to build an offensive juggernaut. i would like my defense to be just good enogh not to lose championship games. get me some serious offensive talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts and feedback please He is a damn good LB but he isnt a QB. No way we give up a first and a second. What does Shaq do for anyone- so unproven and has yet to make the leap to the NFL. Now onto the money- way way too much for a LB. I like your enthusiasm because we sure could use another kick ass LB but imo its too steep for him.

whatdrought Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 If the raiders are going to get to the point of trading him, then that means that they can't pay him. If they can't pay him then he isn't worth a whole lot because everyone in the league will know it. The honest truth is that if Mack is committed to not playing on his option, then he certainly wont play on the tag. And if that's the case, Oakland will be selling low while they can.

GunnerBill Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I also don't think it is happening but I do think dominant pass rusher is absolutely our #1 need. Jerry at his peak was good not great (he benefitted from having Mario at his peak opposite him) and Jerry is not at his peak anymore. I like Trent Murphy but he is a complimentary guy not a cornerstone guy. To me in the modern NFL if you can't rush the passer and do it without blitzing then even the most disciplined defense will eventually break down. I think receiver is need #1A but pass rusher, pass rusher, pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Shaq and a 2020 1st. Contract 15m per for 5 years. 75m total with 30 guaranteed. Probably wouldn't be enough but that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) The thing with trading for Mack isn't only about what he's worth in trade, it's what the Raiders can realistically get. If they aren't going to pay him he sits out 2018 and leaves, essentially leaving the Raiders with bupkis. Hughes and/or Lawson and a high pick is better than nothing. Plus who is calling the shots in Oakland? Gruden? How skilled a negotiator is he? Maybe he just wants to be done with Mack, pissing on his glorious debut season.

Um, we have Star, Phillips, Edmunds, Hughes and Murphy for starters. We dont need to trade away very valuable draft picks right now for more D personnel, not mention spend that much money on him as proposed, until we see what these guys can do together on the filed. VERY PROMISING GROUP, especially with how sick our secondary is. We have WAY bigger concerns and needs right now on offense, and we need those picks to protect our QB and get him some weapons, not to mention McCoy is on the wrong side of 30 now too.

Hughes is 29 and hasn't had more than 6 sacks in a season since 2014. Star and Phillips will hopefully eat space in the middle, but don't expect any pass rush from them. Trent Murphy didn't play last year and it remains to be seen if he can return to 2016 form. Mack is arguably the best defensive player in the NFL and would be an absolute stud on this defense for the next five plus years. If the Raiders are crazy enough to trade him then the Bills should pursue him aggressively. We'll still have money to upgrade our offense next year, but you don't pass up on a stud like that because it's not our most pressing area of need at the moment. It's a pipe dream at this point, but Beane would be crazy to at least not make a phone call. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Always what if He is a fan of musicians Tim McGraw and Hanson. Mack is an active Christian and spent much of his youth attending a church where his father and mother both served as deacons. Mack also enjoys spending time with his nieces, Malaysia, Maayana and Ma’kiyah, and counts his favorite film as The Sound of Music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalil_Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
