Panic mode is setting in. The season is fast approaching and the reports from both sides of Khalil Mack’s contract negotiations are not promising. Specifically that there aren’t any negotiations happening.
A report Monday night from Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports paints a bleak picture of the contract standoff between Mack’s people and the Raiders. Here are the details that stand out:
1. The impasse is likely to last into the season.
2. Negotiations have been at a stalemate since February (we’ve heard this before).
3. The situation has devolved into a “pay him or trade him” conversation.
