What makes you think the Raiders would be willing to trade him? It is puzzling they've yet to work out a long term deal. They can franchise him next year too. Lol, if Collins is expensive, bet that Mack is looking for a break the bank Suh cap busting deal.

I honestly don't know if they want to trade him or not, but these disputes can be messy, and Gruden has already jettisoned several players upon arriving as coach. If the Raiders can get a favorable deal for Mack, I think they'd definitely look at it, but it's just an opinion. For instance, I believe I read that a trade for Mack could fetch as much as a future 1st rounder AND a 3rd. Depending on where that 1st and 3rd are thought to be next year, (THOUGHT to be, mind you).... then it could be a sweet deal. Of course, it also depends on the depth of the Raiders DE position, which I know nothing about.

Not like ASSumption would ever lead us down the wrong path... lol

Confirmed, knee sprain and "week-to-week".  I almost don't believe it.  There's not a lot a team can do to avoid the injury bug, and every team gets them every single season.  Some teams are luckier than others, and we need to be one of the lucky ones if we're going to have the type of season we all want.  We're thin at multiple positions, as you'd expect from a 0-16 team.  We're the most thin at OL and DE (pass rush).  I happen to think Ogbah is better than people give credit for, but he still has to prove it.  Garrett only needs to stay healthy and I'm virtually certain we'll get some nasty production.  Ogbah is a stud against the run, but we need to see a bit more of getting to the QB.  Apparently Genard Avery is REALLY turning some heads at practice, and coaches are experimenting with different lineups to take advantage of his skill set.  If you ask me, we're desperately trying to trade Jamie Collins.  It'd be a stupid move, but I could totally see us doing it.  It'd save us probably $11 million a year, but we're not getting fair value for a high paid player coming off major injury.  

In my dreams I have us trading Jamie Collins to the Oakland Raiders for Khalil Mack.  Obviously we'd have to include draft picks, but Khalil Mack and Myles Garrett on the same line seems absolutely terrifying.  Even if we part with a first rounder next year and Jamie Collins.

We have a little depth at CB, and we just need to hope Gaines comes back sooner than later.  I'm beyond thrilled that he's not seriously injured, and I'm betting he's even happier.  He went from thinking his season is over to getting new life.  Good for him!

Well, that's great news, we have enough depth that he can take his time and heal up.

Oline still in the gel stage, but that is to be expected.

The Browns ran the ball, just started to show what they can do. Chubb also started showing he

is the real deal.

These Browns are going to shock the heck out of the NFL. They are going to start winning early.

I can see bringing Boddy-Calhoun back from Safety to be the fourth corner (Ward, Mitchell, Carrie).

Deron  Smith has looked good as a fourth safety option and special teamer.

Trainer's/nutrition coach will get him right. I also read Hyde may have left blocking shoulder bruising. Those only heel with rest or play with some real pain.
