The first full slate of NFL preseason games arrives with the league’s last two defensive players of the year, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Oakland Raiders pass rusher Khalil Mack, still absent from their teams in holdouts over their contracts.
There even has been speculation that the Raiders could contemplate trading Mack rather than giving him a new deal resembling the six-year contract of Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller worth just more than $114 million.
Is it time for anyone to fret about the Mack and Donald holdouts?
