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.

If Mahomes has the skills we will have to pay him the same or more.

That's not how NFL contracts work.

The Packers paid Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews a combined $33 million last season and both of them signed contracts more than 3 years ago.

Inflation from 2013 will push Carr/Mack to make $40 million combined or more in 2018 or 2019.

The first year of a contract isn't the most expensive. It's just the opposite.

Carr and Mack will probably make around $20-25 million in the first year of their new deals.

Just like Alex's contract. But I bet Carr is guananteed at least 50 mil

That's why I said in my post "2018 or 2019". It's going to happen soon.

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.

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.

Easy.

He's not that good.

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.

Media rights are changing, big time.

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.

Add in how the NFL is basically becoming unaffordable to watch live for the average fan......
