This week was the time of reckoning. With Eddie Vanderdoes on the Physically Unable to Perform list Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , the team had to make a decision whether to activate him or shut him down for the remainder of the season. They chose the latter.“I believe going to put Eddie on season ending injured reserver. We had a chance to look at him for a couple weeks and although he has made progress, he’s had a couple injuries to his knee in his background, and we wanted to make sure that we give him the proper time to get ready. We’re going to be very precautionary with him, so I believe his season will end unfortunately, but I think it’s the right thing to do for him and his future.”Vanderdoes was the team’s third round pick in the 2017 draft. He appeared in all 16 games as a rookie, starting 13 games. In the season finale in Las Angeles against the Chargers, he suffered a tear in his ACL which figured to carry a recovery time of several months.The Raiders expected to have the big defensive tackle back in camp, but he suffered a setback and remained on the PUP list into the regular season which meant he would be out at least 8 weeks. From there the team had three weeks to make a decision. Heading into week 11, that time is now. And with no great benefit to rushing him back, the decision was made to push his return to 2019.Follow @LeviDamienHow long after Aaron Donald signing should Raider Nation hit panic button on Khalil Mack? The market for elite defensive players has been set. The Los Angeles Rams and Aaron Donald agreed to a six-year $135 million contract extension on Friday. And at some point Antonio Brown Jersey White , whether that be the next few days, a few weeks or a year (maybe two who knows), Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack will reset that market as well. Up until this point, I have not been bothered by the Mack news. Sure, rumors will come out that will make the Raiders look bad and they certainly have been reported but that is the job of Mack’s camp. To find and use any leverage possible to get Mack the best deal and that involves releasing information to put pressure on the organization. And one of the steps to getting Mack the best deal is to wait for Donald to sign his new contract because whoever signs second will get the larger deal. So my thought process has been, it could be likely Mack is just waiting for Donald to sign. Once that happens (and it has), then we will know how the negotiations are actually going. If Mack signs within a few days, then it was just all a negotiation tactic. If not, then Oakland is in some serious trouble regarding Mack. Even if Mack comes back to play on his current deal, one would have to imagine that the relationship between him and the organization is not ideal. As such Bo Jackson Jersey White , the Raiders could have Mack on the field this season, but then when they come to the negotiation table next season (if they do at all) it would be hard to imagine that they will be able to strike a long-term deal. For those who are in support of giving Mack whatever he wants, like myself, here is a prudent point to do so. The contract that Mack would receive right now might look massive at first but only at first. For example, Derek Carr signed last offseason as the highest-paid player in the NFL at the time by earning $25 million per year. But just one offseason later, Aaron Rodgers has made Carr’s numbers look like child’s play. Rodgers is making $33.5 million per season from the extension. So within just one year, Carr’s deal is dwarfed. And while it won’t happen as quickly on the defensive side of the ball, it will still happen. But Mack isn’t signed at the moment. So the question still remains, with Donald signed when should Raider Nation hit the panic button on Mack and be worried that the Raiders’ future doesn’t involve the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year?
