For a couple years the impending extension of Khalil Mack has loomed. As if the team would need to brace themselves for it’s impact and clear the books to make room for it. It will be a big time extension, there’s no doubt about that. But it may not actually leave the crater in the Raiders salary cap figure you might think.
I myself have used words like “sizable chunk” when referring to what Mack’s extension would do to their available money under the cap. Although, up until now I hadn’t really taken an in-depth look at it to see what kind of figure we’d be talking about.
