As Raiders pass rusher Khalil Mack stays away from the team's offseason program Authentic Cameron Jordan Jersey , it's becoming more clear that a connection exists between Mack's absence from the team arises from the absence of a long-term deal for Mack.
Via Steve Wyche of NFL Media, Mack wants at least $65 million in guarantees as part of a new contract.
Presumably, this means full guarantees at signing. Three years ago, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh received $60 million fully guaranteed at signing as part of the six-year deal with the Dolphins. (He was cut this year Youth Derek Grant Jersey , after the guarantees ended.) Two years ago, Broncos linebacker Von Miller received a full guarantee of $70 million — and arguably a practical guarantee of $78.5 million.
Mack is due to make $13.846 million. The Raiders could then tag him twice before letting him hit the open market. The question is whether they're willing to make a major commitment that would far exceed what Mack would be paid over the next three years.
Presumably, the $65 million would cover the first three years of a new contract. It's unclear what Mack would want in years four, five Brock McGinn Jersey Kids , and/or six. It's possible that Mack would want his contract to expire at that point.
The unfolding Washington cheerleader scandal has apparently cost at least one executive his job.
According to Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan, team executive Dennis Greene has resigned.
Greene was previously the team's president of business operations, but those duties were taken over when Brian Lefemina was hired from the league office two weeks ago. As recently as this morning, Greene was listed on the team website as president of hospitality.
The resignation came just before a new story in the New York Times which listed new details about Greene's involvement in a trip to Costa Rica in which cheerleaders said they felt like escorts. The team had promised they were "immediately looking into" the allegations.
Greene had been with the team since 2001.
It's unclear based on the report from The Fan if Greene was removed specifically because of the cheerleader story or for other reasons.
The Times article details the involvement of the cheerleader ambassadors Authentic Jaccob Slavin Jersey , who weren't actual cheerleaders, but attractive props who made appearances on behalf of the team. Greene would reportedly survey a line of the ambassadors before games.
鈥淗e would look each of us up and down and say, I want that one and that one, and everyone hated when you got selected for that Authentic Jordan Reed Jersey ,鈥?a former ambassador said to the Times. 鈥淚t was humiliating, like we were cattle.鈥?/p> Youth Oakland Raiders Jerseys
