Raiders holdout Mack: 'I miss it'

Holdout pass rusher Khalil Mack broke his weeks-long silence on Thursday night, but a three-word Twitter post might not be a sign of progress toward a new deal with the Oakland Raiders.

Mack, who is holding out for a long-term contract, does not plan to report to the team without a deal, according to reports. Head coach Jon Gruden and Mack are not in contact and the Raiders are reportedly willing to trade Mack for draft pick compensation.

Responding to a tweet from The Athletic, Mack posted "I miss it."

Quarterback Derek Carr responded to Mack on the same string, "I miss you." Carr also posted a video from a previous season of a postgame hug with Mack.

NFL Network reported Friday the Raiders have a long way to go for common ground to be found with Mack. He's pushing for a contract in excess of $100 million, which would make him among the highest-paid defensive players in the NFL.
