Trade talk swirls around Raiders' Mack


The Oakland Raiders and Khalil Mack are so far apart in contract negotiations that teams have started to call general manager Reggie McKenzie with trade offers for the disgruntled defensive end.

Thus far, the offers haven't convinced McKenzie to move his star pass rusher.

It will reportedly take a huge haul in return for him to part with the 2016 Defensive Player of the Year, even as Mack's holdout continues. McKenzie, to this point, has not expressed a desire to trade him.

"Reggie McKenzie has had multiple offers to him -- a first-round pick and another high pick," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said Wednesday. "I've been told he's been offered a player for Khalil Mack. To this point, none of that has gotten anywhere. So what people around the league believe is that to even start the conversation, you're talking about having to offer two first-round picks on top of needing to give (Mack) a top-of-market, $20 million-plus per year contract."

Entering the fifth-year option of his rookie deal, Mack, 27, is due to make $13.85 million this season. He has 40.5 sacks in four NFL seasons while starting all 64 games. He had 10.5 sacks last season.

Mack, selected by Oakland with the fifth pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, has not received any offers from the team since February, according to Pro Football Talk.

The Los Angeles Rams and their defensive holdout, Aaron Donald, reportedly are closing in on a contract extension. Donald's contract will set the bar that Mack likely will seek to exceed.
