PIZ Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Would the Raiders insist on a player like Tre White to be part of the deal? I would assume the Bills would not include any top draft pick players drafted by McBeane:. White, Phillips, obviously Allen, Edmunds, Jones, and Dawkins. Anyone else off limits?

Doc Brown Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Now would be the ideal time to make a big signing with Josh Allen on his rookie contract and a ton of cap space open next year. However, I wouldn't want to give up a 1st rounder for him and then pay a huge contract when we're going to need all those picks next year to address some of the holes in offense to give Allen help (WR, OT, OG, and likely RB). If they find a way to make the trade without giving up a ton, then I wouldn't have a problem with the signing. You can front load the contract given the space we'll have next year.

White is a non-starter, IMO. If Oakland insists, I hang up the phone. Whoever lands Mack will be shelling out a small fortune, they won't have to surrender a top player. The Raiders will either have to pay that small fortune themselves to keep him (doubtful) or take the best offer they can get which will more than likely involve draft picks. I don't see any team surrendering one of their best players. The Raiders have less and less leverage with each passing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put Phillips or Jones off the table. Phillips is a late 3rd round pick who hasn't done anything yet (although we all liked the pick) and Jones is a 2nd round pick that may be a bust.

Logic Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) The most obvious thing Buffalo could do to acquire Mack -- if the Raiders went for it, of course -- would be a position-for-position swap. If they get rid of Mack, they'll need an edge rushing presence. Jerry Hughes or Shaq Lawson (whichever they prefer....though I'm not sure why they'd prefer Lawson other than age), 2019 1st and 3rd round pick. That's the LEAST Buffalo could hope to spend in trade compensation, in my estimation. Are Bills fans prepared to go into next year's draft without 1st and 3rd round picks?

Mack just came off 10.5 sacks with 61 solo tackles and a combined 78 tackles. That's All Pro for a DE. Don't bring up Lawrence. Him and Mack came into the league at the same time. Lawrence's numbers are no where close to Mack's and he signed a one year contract (because he can't stay healthy) for over 17 million. Von Miller, yeah he's great that's why he is the highest paid. Mack is in the same category. Chandler Jones was a disappointment in NE, that's why he was traded. He is much better in Arizona but still not the all around player Mack is. Bosa could be exceptional. If so he will command close to 25 million a year when his rookie contract is up. If the Chargers wait to pay him the way the Raiders are doing with Mack, he will leave too. So if your conclusion is Mack may not be the best because of Von Miller or maybe Bosa.................... I watched most of Mack's games last year. I had him on my fantasy team. While he finished the year with 10.5 sacks. Most of them were Aaron Schoebel sacks. The kind accrued that were a result of coverage or garbage time. He was largely an invisible Man last year. He was also a defensive liability at times and he dominated exactly zero games. Also 10 sacks is not elite territory. It's just pretty good, Jerry Hughes level. I'm not interested in paying $2 million per sack. I'm not saying he isn't a great player, but I'm positive he'll be unable to live up to a $20m contract, and I think you can get players almost as good for close to half that.

You like so many others look at sack numbers as the way to evaluate DEs or Edge rushers. Mack is an elite player by any measure.

I think he'll continue to be a top tier guy for a few more years, as long as the money doesn't go to his head. But I don't want him on the team at the contract he'll command. Even with so zero trade compensation. I don't ever remember it working out in the salary cap era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you figure the starting point is a 1st rounder. From there, you figure the Raiders are going to need to fill the void left by Mack, hence the player(s) I included. What other teams have given up multiple assets for a non-QB? How about when the Eagles sent the Bills 1st, 4th, and 6th round picks for Jason Peters? Revis being traded to the Bucs for a high 1st round pick and an additional conditional draft pick. Anyone thinking the Bills can get Mack for just a 1st round pick is dreaming, in my estimation. It'll take something else to sweeten the pot -- ESPECIALLY if, as reported, there are about 12 interested teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent's Take: How a potential Khalil Mack trade might work, and five landing spots Trade compensation The Raiders should be able to command a king's ransom if Mack is put on the trading block. I asked former longtime Eagles president and Browns CEO Joe Banner via direct message on Twitter about the type of compensation the Raiders could get in a Mack trade. The Eagles were considered as a team to emulate in salary-cap management under Banner's direction. "I think the range is a 1, 3 and 7 on the low end to two 1s on the high end. A lot also depends on how high the 1 is. Maybe it's a 1 and 2 if it's fairly high, or two 1s if it's lower," said Banner. "Maybe a team would be smart to include a 1 with a quality player. Or a 1, a middle pick and a quality player. He (Mack) is as good or better than any of the players we have seen involved in these kind of trades." Banner's assessment is consistent with the top trade compensation for veteran non-quarterbacks during the 21st century, which is outlined in the chart below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
