Raiders’ Khalil Mack honored with Pro Butkus Award

As the team prepares for the upcoming season all eyes will be on Mack to not only repeat last year’s performance but perhaps improve on it, as crazy as that may sound. As the only true pass rushing threat last season it’ll be interesting to see if all additions will give Mack not only some help but maybe allow him to go one on one against blockers, maybe even raising the sack production to an insane level.

Retrospect: Raiders running backs and the “30-year-old” mark

Playing with a monstrous offensive line and a future superstar in quarterback Derek Carr puts Lynch in prime position to have a season for the ages.

Mack’s worth more than that, but at this point and since negotiations toward a new deal have not started, it’s uncertain how much money he’s going to demand; contract talks can take two different turns: One where he becomes one of the highest-paid overall players in the NFL or a more modest one in which he gets millions but leaves money on the table in order to help the Raiders manage their salary cap. At this point, both scenarios are equally possible as he has performed at an elite level.

I think Cordarrelle Patterson will have limited targets in this loaded offense but return large production from his touches that ultimately will spurn Seth Roberts playing time. Cordarrelle will remain the league’s best kickoff returner in silver & black and here’s to hoping to see him take one back to the house in “The Black Hole” albeit this time not in a Vikings uniform.
