Mack, while still with the Raiders, had been holding out, seeking just such a deal. The Raiders didn't want to give it to him. They have a $125 million quarterback, in Carr. They have a $100 million coach, in Gruden. But they drew the line at handing out another mammoth deal, not wanting to further strain their budget or push the boundaries of the salary cap. They regarded the king's ransom of draft picks put forth by the Bears, including a pair of first-rounders, as an offer they couldn't refuse.
