Maurice Hurst, P.J. Hall, Arden Key stepping up in Khalil Mack's absence

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- A limo driver, Khalil Mack and Lions general manager Bob Quinn walked into a bar ...

No, this was not the start of some bad joke. Rather, they were the particulars in an intriguing, and unsubstantiated, report out of Detroit last weekend that had a limo driver presumably picking up the 2016 NFL defensive player of the year at the airport and purportedly taking him to meet with Quinn.

Trade talks? Tampering? Probably neither, as nothing came of it.

But imagine this scenario if/when Mack, whose holdout reached 35 days Thursday, reports to the Raiders: He is picked up at the Oakland airport and driven to the team facility by an Uber driver .
