Today what was known became official. The Raiders players took the field for their first training camp and their best player was not among them. Also not on the field was offensive lineman, Vadal Alexander. That one was not expected.
Khalil Mack is holding out for a contract extension. He is coming up on his fifth year option season and wants the Raiders to extend him long term. He’s certainly earned it. He and Aaron Donald, who was chosen a few slots later in the 2014 draft, are both holding out to get the big extension they deserve.
