Raiders Straight Talk: Why the Khalil Mack trade might’ve been worth the pain

The Raiders were torched for shipping a potential Hall of Fame edge player like Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears before last season, and the deal has come back into focus this week given the match-up Sunday at Tottenham Stadium in London.

No one trades such a transcendent talent, especially when Mack also has every positive quality you could want in terms of work ethic and team play.

The Raiders were a running joke (and a passing joke and a defensive joke) after dealing Mack en route to 4-12, with the Bears going 12-4 and winning the NFC North.
