Team President and CEO Mark Murphy told The FAN's Gary Ellerson this week that the Oakland Raiders' decision to shop Mack came down to predicting who would be able to offer higher draft compensation between the Packers and Chicago Bears.
"Well, the whole Khalil Mack thing. It's not that we didn't try," Murphy said. "We were aggressive. We wanted to sign him. I think, ironically, the Raiders took the Bears offer because they thought they would be a better draft pick."
The Wisconsin State Journal's Jason Wilde noted in September that the Packers made an offer to the Raiders, but not one that included both of the first-round picks they held in 2019.
