Being grilled. LMAO

He said it like it was, didn't sugar coat it ...

It's hard to have 2 players on your team that are the highest or close to the highest paid players at their position and said Chicago is enjoying Tibusky's rookie contract and the Rams are too.

Some of the younger fans can't and won't understand how you can't mortgage a team for the next 7 years and still bring back other players on your team. Mack made it clear he wasn't going to play so the team made a move.

I am fine with it, Liked him, wanted him here but it's a business and to pay him that kind of money would have made us a shit defense for the next 7 years overall, he would have done great 10-15 sacks a year but that won't stop the quick passes for large gains and damn sure won't improve the secondary and with him their would be no money to do it.

Sorry but Mack is an elite level pass-rusher. Ken Norton being a shitty DC, and having a shitty secondary, doesn't mean anything to the loss they just took. It's a poor attempt to try and reason with the stupid move your dumb coach just made.

He's a guy that you have to find a way to pay. The Raiders are ****ing dumbasses for not giving him what he wanted. You keep elite caliber players that are just entering their prime....no matter what.

Now they’ll spend 4 picks in round one in hopes of finding 1 Khalil Mack lol. It’s a dumb move.

I’m still happy KC kept Houston and Berry

Seems like they realize this team isn't going to get over the hump, and are trying to accumulate picks for Gruden to make the team over in his own image.

That dog dont hunt. If the situation was reversed and the Raiders gave up 2 future 1st round picks and agreed to pay $95 million dollars money for a pass rusher without having a proven offense......they would be mocked as "the same old Al Davis Raiders"......

Remember when King was supposedly a bad decision by Gruden?

:spock:

People were bitching about him cutting a punter?

Also: THIS is what you have to hang your hat on as a refutation if Grudens criticism? Jesus.

Have to pick the low hanging fruit when that’s all that’s there.

Via Nicki Jhabvala of the Athletic, King had been checked out by trainers after the final punt, and he was limping in the locker room after the game.

ROFL

Marquette trying to blame his performance on the "injury"

Nah, plenty of other criticism that is still valid, but I found it humorous then that King was one of the talking points, and it is even funnier now.

But for 1/4 the price ;)

[Eric Williams] Jon Gruden said he wanted to take Derwin James in the first round, but unfortunately they took a safety in the first round in 2016 (Karl Joseph) and one in the second round (Obi Melifonwu) in 2017. The Raiders selected LT Kolton Miller two picks before James in this year’s draft.
