2018 is going to be crazy for the Raiders. Carr and Mack alone will make up close to $50 million.
Time to find out how good Reggie McKenzie really is. [Reply]

Inflation from 2013 will push Carr/Mack to make $40 million combined or more in 2018 or 2019.
It doesn't seem like he's even close to worth that kind of money from what I've seen. Are we really the only team that can make him look like a complete fraud? You'd think teams would study our game tapes more. He's not that hard to beat. [Reply]

Exactly. All you need to do is go out and buy some All-Pro pass rushers, an All-Pro safety, a top flight DL and one of the best corners to be drafted in the past 10 years.

Considering that the 2021 CBA *might* see a reduction in TV rights fees, the Raiders would be better suited to give both players front loaded contracts.

Easy.
At least Dorsey knows how to do it. I'd hate to start losing to the Raiders. Looks like Denver keeps him in check too. He looks pretty average against good defenses and unfortunately for him he's in a division with the top 2 defenses in the league. Poor guy. [Reply]

Media rights are changing, big time.
Add in how the NFL is basically becoming unaffordable to watch live for the average fan...... [Reply]
