On Saturday, the Los Angeles Rams struck a mega deal with star defensive tackle Aaron Donald. And despite missing the entirety of the preseason, AD99 should get some run in Week 1, albeit “with a strategic plan over the next couple of weeks.”
The same can’t be said for their Week 1 opponent, the Oakland Raiders and Khalil Mack — who remains a holdout and is now the hot topic of discussion to be traded. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has stated that the trade market for the star pass-rusher is “robust” and that the trade compensation the Raiders seek is a pair of first round draft picks — in addition to the whole “pay the man” thing.
