honestly man I still can't believe it
It is what it is bro. I’ve been a fan long enough to know when disappointment is just the norm. It’s funny how a lot of people in he comments sections on IG think that Mack looks unhappy. That’s what you get though. You can’t want all that bread and expect to get traded to the Patriots. Realistically, I honestly believe he will regret this more than the team will. Unless he wins a ring, which I highly doubt with the bears.
They don’t even have a lease here for next year
If this is the Last season in Oakland, I’m okay with it tbh.
I feel like he truly did want to stay here, and ride his career with DC just how they planned it. But not all stories have that fairytale ending.
I don’t know if he will come to regret it or not. Jon came across as lightweight disrespectful with his little smart *** comments about how having him didn’t equate to much when the defense still ranked ****ty. Like having an incompetent defensive coordinator and head coach at the time wasn’ta big part of that equation.
So, when Mack turns around and says all he wanted was to feel wanted - yeah the $90Mill guaranteed is a big part of it, but I think that comment was a big time shot at Gruden and the Raiders.
IMO - you don’t play for your teammates or the coaches. You play for the money first and foremost.Being wanted and playing where you want are completely different things though. At the end of the day, do you play for your brothers/teammates or the coaches? That’s all I’m saying. I wanna win for my teammate, not the assistant special teams coach.

All them dudes literally put their bodies through hell and risk life long injuries week in and week out.
Yeah, I don’t mean to come across as a **** or anything - we can have different perspectives on this and it’s all good.I guess we just have different views on sports. I played bc I'm competitive. I want to win at everything. Yeah, money is great, but I wouldn't play for the Brooklyn Nets just to get a check. Losing frequently would ruin me. I'd rather give up some money to be competitive. As much as I dislike the whole super team wave in the NBA, I can understand players taking pay cuts to win. Its the same with football. The Pats don't pay anyone top dollar and are still in the SB damn near every year. Even Brady isn't top 5 in QB salaries and he's arguably the GOAT.

The way I see it is this - this is their full time job and if I got paid $20 million to work at my current job but had the opportunity to make $30 million doing the same exact thing elsewhere, of course I’ll take more money.
Because I know the first chance my current job can find someone else to replace me for cheaper - they’ll do it. So let me get mine before it’s over and done with.
Which may be part of the equation here - maybe the Raiders think Arden Key and the young bucks on the DLine can carry the weight of a Khalil Mack. Which is the most frustrating part, cause I feel like we finally have a competent Dline and we just let go of our biggest asset on that line.
I just wanna know if 20 mil and 23 mil is THAT big of a difference. He probably would’ve gotten close if not the same amount of guaranteed money anyway. People making it seem like Reggie pulled up with 12 mil.
What has the raider org done for him to take a discount? They have had 3 coaches, a move to a different city and an owner who really hasn’t proven he can set up a winning system. Be real, what do the raiders offer that would attract you to take less? Everyone comes here for the money only.
