On the Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony:

The question still rings–would the Oakland Raiders trade defensive end Khalil Mack? There has been talk and there are NFL teams shopping Mack. The Raiders say Mack is not available, but when a player is holding out, teams come calling. The New York Jets have expressed interest.

The reason for the talk? Mack is looking for more dough the Denver Broncos are paying linebacker Von Miller $114.1 million for six years. Von gets $70 million in guaranteed money. Miller gets $19 million a year and Mack is getting $13.8 million. Mack is looking to match the $19 million total and is holding out.

The Raiders if they do let Mack go, they’re going to ask for the kitchen sink for a player of that value. Will they get what they ask for? Only time will tell.

The Raiders host the Detroit Lions on Friday night at the Oakland Coliseum for the first preseason game. It maybe just preseason, but the Raiders are glad training camp is over and are excited about getting this season going.
