Raiders beat writers keep insisting there’s really nothing new. Just no progress.
If this has anything to do with Gruden trying to send some message, HUGE mistake. You do what it takes to keep a stud like Mack, this is totally stupid.

Ward probably isn't making the roster in Dallas after impressing early in camp, and Switzer already got traded from the Raiders.

this guy is fairly legit. i used to post on his forum as multiple users there were actually pretty well connected with the Raiders staff and they have all kinds of insider stuff. but at some point they added a paywall where all the scoops were on the "premium forum" and the regular forum was just trash. but for some reason he decided to share this publicly today
from the website
I haven’t had the chance to rebuild PREMIUM yet, so I’m putting this here.
Sources close to Raiderfans.net are reporting that they expect the Raiders and Mack to have deal in place by Week 1. Don’t believe all the trade rumors, this deal will get done. We expect an extension to include around $90 million in guarantees and the contract to be 5 or 6 years.
More news as we hear it!

Raiders would be crazy not to lock this guy up long term.
Looks like Mack is going to the Bears.

You mean Bears?
Sorry spurraider21
Yup lol
What a dumpster fire. And lol at me for buying the post above.
I dont believe this move.
Gruden is .
What a clown ing franchise and Jon Gruden. This has been the worst sports offseason of my life tbh
Talk about hustling backwards
Lol paying Gruden 100 mil but not Mack
Lol the . Carr about to throw 50+ per game playing catch up
His value just shot through the roof. What's the bidding starting at?
Two firsts, a third and a sixth. Nice trade for Oakland imo.
I think they also give up a 2nd and a potential 5th.
Oh aj McCarron. Raiders yall funny today
You have been punished for your lack of faith.
Gruden
I learned the Mack in the airport terminal on my way to Hawaii. Ruined my mood for a full day. Don’t understand what Gruden is doing. Signs vets to win now and trades the best player signaling rebuild ahead.
Martavis bryant just a cherry on top. And IF you’re going to trade mack, do it early in the off-season so you can at least spend the 14 mil he was slated to earn. Not blow it on a backup qb
Don't think it's a rebuild. Just didn't wanna pony up the $$$.
I'm not sure what Pace is doing. This was a win now move in a division with 2 clearly superior teams. And the Bears FO is acting like Trubisky is a polished product already.
If I'm Gruden I make it known (to just the owner) I'm cool with my "ALL" $$$$ to work out deal with Mack.
the offensive gameplan was understandable... and it worked well in the first half. avoid dealing with Suh/Donald and Talib/Peters by having your offense centered around the run and quick throws to tight ends/running backs. makes sense, and its the only way the raiders have had success against denver in recent years (except they have great edge rushers instead of interior rushers). but once they ran out of scripted playcalls, the offense went completely dull... which is exactly what happened to the bears against the packers too
it looks like gruden wants to run the old offense that rich gannon ran so well... but that's predicated on a qb who can play virtually mistake free and with extreme precision for long stretches. this doesn't bode well for Carr. alex smith would be a better fit for the offense we tried to run yesterday. i want to say that Carr thrives on the intermediate passing game, but tbh i haven't seen him let it rip down the field since 2016, so i dont know if its gruden holding carr back or if carr's ability is limiting gruden's playbook. rams D make some good adjustments in the 2nd half (placed talib on jared cook), but oakland failed to re-calibrate and instead went to
i dont care how scared you are of the other teams corners. you have to get the ball to cooper since he's proven do be a dangerous YAC guy that can turn short screens/slants into long touchdowns.
the defense predictably lacked playmaking, but imo they were holding their own until mid-late third quarter after successive 3-and-outs by the offense left them gassed.
