Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said he didn't believe Oakland was "anywhere close to where the Bears were," in the record-setting deal that sent All-Pro pass rusher Khalil Mack to Chicago on Saturday.
"He's a great player for us, a great person, a great teammate," Gruden said Sunday. "I did have contact with him [Saturday], too, exchanging our best wishes to him and thanking him for being a great Oakland Raider. The negotiation was what it was. It was tough. It was a long process. We talked about it daily. We made him an offer. I don't believe we were anywhere close to where the Bears were.
