Following an underwhelming 6-10 season a year ago, the Oakland Raiders organization gave its fan base excitement for the 2018 season with the return of Jon Gruden. Taking control of a roster filled with talent, all faith was placed in him to restore the Silver and Black to prominence.
Already a tall task, now Gruden may have set the expectations even higher with the latest roster moves and personnel decisions. Ultimately its success or bust for this season and this Raiders squad.
The tip of the iceberg was the trading of Khalil Mack, a move that no fan or player could have fathomed to have occurred before the regular season.
