If Oakland Raiders bosses Reggie McKenzie and Jon Gruden were looking to create a distraction from the ongoing contract saga with superstar Khalil Mack, they may have done it.
At least, for now.
The Raiders have reportedly asked veteran left tackle Donald Penn to take a pay cut, which is surely not going to be a salve to the irritation he feels after the team used two of its first three picks in this year’s draft on offensive tackles – Kolton Miller (fifteenth overall) and Brandon Parker (sixty-fifth overall).
