That’s the problem. We’ll always be trash until players actually wanna be here. He clearly didn’t bc he took the money, and that’s fine. I just don’t like the narrative that “oh the raiders are dumb”. Just say you wanna be the highest paid, you don’t wanna be here, and keep it pushing. Don’t act all sad bc you’re now a bear when you could’ve stopped this at any point. Again, if you miss playing if you miss your boy DC, then show up.

Look at how Donald handled the situation. He’s publicly said that he’s confident that a deal will get done and it did. Mack hid all offseason. Donald made it apparent that he wanted to stay. Mack just tryna get paid, and that’s fine. Just don’t make it seem like Jon premeditated the trade before he took the job.

I think it was a bit of both. Mack probably did want to stay but he obviously didn’t want to take a discount. He wanted to get paid and the raiders didn’t want to continue to let this play out. I think Mack would have reported and he could have played Monday. Even if Mack wasn’t part of long term plans, the raiders could have traded him in the off season and get the same or better deal. The dumb part imo only applies to what they got for him and the timing.

We can blame Reggie for that one. If he didn’t give up a 2nd round pick, this wouldn’t even be a conversation. Whether Mack was actually gonna show or not, who knows. Le’Veon still hasn’t shown up.

The 2nd round pick made no sense at all. If this trade was in the off season or during the draft, im sure a team would have happily given their own 2nd too along with the 1s

 

[HNL HI]

You gonna tell me that the guy with 100 mill contract isn’t running the show

yeah, there's no way Gruden didn't know every detail of the trade.

Martavius smh

Another fine offseason move

It’s not that he’s a bad player. He’s just a fool. I guess they didn’t think he would actually get suspended, at least for not that long.

Time for Mack to feast

 

[sickr8r]

He’s already making plays without getting the sack.

 

[raider5]

Beautifully done, fellas...

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

Blah blah it doesn’t even matter anymore...

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Yeah. I like that the "sources" reports come out after the fact.

 

[village1600]

Man I miss seeing Mack cause Havoc in the silver and black

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Mack doing work. Sadness. But happy he thriving.

 

[sickr8r]

Mack Gawd!!!

 

[village1600]

thank you gruden

 

[sickr8r]

F Gruden!!!!
Not worth the money my a**

 

[casperjr]

As a bears fan I'm happy Heiden didn't want to pay Mack

Feel bad for y'all as fans doe

 

[kayzeezay]

I still say Harbaugh would've took 70mil with money leftover for Mack

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Lol! Dude has a TD. Go get yours bro.

 

[kayzeezay]

Welp, I hope Jon works wonders with those late 1st round picks from the Bears

 

[HNL HI]

He just doing what we've seen him do week in and week out, good for him tbh.
