Most owners have made their money in other businesses and then bought a football team. Al and Mark rely only on football for money. Getting money is one thing. paying it back is another. he doesn't have unlimited resources.Skullz wrote Thu Aug 16, 2018 8:37 pm:That was then. they just built a 2 billion dollar stadium. Mark can get money. That is not the issue. It’s the CBA and crippling the cap to pay a player what he’s actually worth. NFL salaries are a joke compared to other sports. That’s why I would of had an Al Davis approach to this, paid the man, reset the market, and moved money around. This hurts other teams in their own negotiations. Teams that win have more leverage in the offseason. I would bet this is what they are doing anyways.
Also paying Penn last year set a bad precedent.
To be completely honest I can hardly blame either side for the impasse we are currently at, hence why we are here to begin with. But I think it will get worked out.

Lol mack aint missing any games...he has no leverage unless you call retirement leverage...this will be the most hes made of any season so he is not going to skip a game check...just because these writers like writing shit articles with no legit statements from reggie or mack doesn't make it true...Theres no way macks agent is suggesting to miss games because as of right now he hasnt made shit compared to what he would make this year and even on a franchise tagJeevo » Thu Aug 16, 2018 8:44 pm
Of course you are correct but we both know that if things get toxic enough we will have to move him. I would rather have him on the team then have what we would get for him. I want to see Mack with our new guys under a real honest to goodness NFL defensive coordinator.Jeevo » Thu Aug 16, 2018 8:47 pm
I couldn't pay someone $500 grand right now. If you gave me a profitable business valued at over $2 billion with a defined payroll I could do it even though I don't have that cash on hand.mad stork 83 wrote Thu Aug 16, 2018 8:41 pm:Most owners have made their money in other businesses and then bought a football team.

I just finished watching the Packers - Steelers game. Twice they mentioned that the Packers COULD trade for Mack.RunDMLee » Thu Aug 16, 2018 9:14 pm
The is no truth this all stemmed for a betting site giving out odds everyone site ou tthere took it as gospel now the mainstream media has taken it as if the Packers announced it & Mack asked for a trade. Betting sites do this all it’s about making money for them give out odds of something that has no base so people jump on it before ring the cash register for them.Ivanavich wrote Thu Aug 16, 2018 8:50 pm:I just finished watching the Packers - Steelers game.

There must be some truth to the rumors... maybe from Mack's agent... maybe from the Packer's front office. I honestly don't see how Green Bay could afford Mack. but... what do I know???

Anyone who still thinks Mark has no money is the clueless. And those that really think selling a minority portion of the team prevents payments to the athletes in signing bonuses has no idea how business works let alone the NFL.The AzzAzzin » Thu Aug 16, 2018 9:46 pm
you know mark cant use the team/raiders as collateral right? His only source of income is what the Raiders bring in after the net. He also took on a ton of debt with loans for the new stadium. hell the new stadium itself is being built/funded from future revenue streams already and totally contingent on hitting certain PSL numbers. Now every team sort of does this now but they have their own money to fall back on. He doesn't even own all the team. its something like 47 percent and the Raiders bring in the least annual revenue in the NFL. Mark won't be making money until the vegas stadium is built and all the loans/costs are paid off.Jeevo wrote Thu Aug 16, 2018 8:47 pm:I couldn't pay someone $500 grand right now.

You don't need to use the team as collateral to get the money. When you own an asset worth what an NFL team in Vegas is worth you get the money without actually securing it against the team. There could be many reasons why this deal isn't done yet but no money for escrow isn't one of them.The AzzAzzin wrote Thu Aug 16, 2018 9:46 pm: you know mark cant use the team/raiders as collateral right?

Now I don't know if it has anything to do with not being able to pay mack his signing bonus money and put that cash into escrow but lets not act like it couldn't be a possibility. It has been said for years going back to Al that sometimes it proved difficult dropping ton of cash on signing bonuses and we already gave our QB a shit ton of money.
Like I said, it may have zero to do with it and he may have the money , I dont know, Im not in his pockets but its something that has been brought up before from those around the NFL about how it would be difficult when you only currently have one income source and not a very good one at that.
In any case, Mack is in for a big payday sooner or later.

Lol... I like you but this post is wrong and irresponsible on so many levels. The only thing you got right is the “I don’t know, I’m not in his pockets” part.

The trade for Mack won't happen because for one Packers have to pay Rogers, when I say pay I mean mega monster deal. Rogers will make Carr's contract look like a blue light special. I believe Rogers will make $33-35 million per season. Secondly, Packers will need picks to off set Roger's contract.Skullz » Thu Aug 16, 2018 10:02 pm
