As Raiders pass rusher Khalil Mack stays away from the team’s offseason program
Colt McCoy Jersey , it’s becoming more clear that a connection exists between Mack’s absence from the team arises from the absence of a long-term deal for
Mack.
Via Steve Wyche of NFL Media, Mack wants at least $65 million in guarantees as part of a new contract.
Presumably, this means full guarantees at signing. Three years ago
Vladimir Tarasenko Jersey , defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh received $60 million fully guaranteed at signing as part of the six-year deal with the
Dolphins. (He was cut this year, after the guarantees ended.) Two years ago,
Broncos linebacker Von Miller received a full guarantee of $70 million — and
arguably a practical guarantee of $78.5 million.
Mack is due to make $13.846 million. The Raiders could then tag him twice before letting him hit the open market. The question is whether they’re willing
to make a major commitment that would far exceed what Mack would be paid over
the next three years.
Presumably
Antti Niemi Jersey , the $65 million would cover the first three years of a new contract. It’s unclear what Mack would want in years four, five, and/or
six. It’s possible that Mack would want his contract to expire at that
point.
The Chicago Bears might look for a pass rusher or help on the offensive line when the draft resumes Friday after taking Georgia linebacker
Roquan Smith with the No. 8 overall pick.
The Bears grabbed a potential cornerstone defensive player in the first round Thursday rather than add another weapon for prized quarterback Mitchell
Trubisky.
Chicago has one second-round pick Friday night
Authentic Patrick Mahomes Jersey , two fourth-rounders and one each in the fifth, sixth and seventh. The Bears don't have a third-round selection.
Chicago had 42 sacks last season but let linebackers Pernell McPhee and Willie Young go. The Bears could also use a blocker, with guard Kyle Long
recovering from multiple surgeries and guard Josh Sitton gone.
