The Oakland Raiders, like every other team around the league, have had their fair share of bad trades throughout their illustrious history. It happens. It’s just the nature of the beast. Not every deal you make is going to work out, and sometimes, you’re just going to get straight fleeced.
And if you were to listen to some, the Raiders are possibly on the verge of pulling the trigger on a deal that, no matter how you slice it, would leave them with egg on their collective faces. Maybe even a whole omelette.
With just three meaningless tune up games to come, the Raiders are staring down the barrel of the regular season – and of possibly going into it without arguably, one of the top two or three, defensive presences in the entire league in Khalil Mack, who’s holding out for a very well earned and deserved mega-deal.
