While Raiders fans are still grinding their teeth over the trade deals of Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper, who undoubtedly helped sink their own team's season, owner mark Davis doesn't regret them.

He still nimbly identifies a serious side, and it's a fascinating revelation.

"It's all Reggie has been doing these deals," Davis told Jan Rapoport of NFL Media earlier this week at the winter League meeting in Dallas. "He seemed pretty successful."

Reggie, of course, will be Reggie Mackenzie, who Davis only just actually fired from the post of General Manager. Finally, in case Davis doesn't regret the deals, why fire the GM who most likely made them?

Comments Davis still considered to be mealy-mouthed by comparison with the more by rameshram report Vika Tatura Athletics, who said the fact that Mackenzie performed in front of the trade Mac. Tafur else said, the fact that Davis and coach John Thoraco did not believe, in fact that Mackenzie got quite a benefit from the bears in this deal, and it was one of the grounds for the dismissal of GM.

Gruden, as it is told, contains the last text in all personnel questions, but it is clear, actually that Mackenzie paid cost for trade in poppy and Cooper. Bad announcements for Oakland both players caused their own fresh team than any other than anticipated reports, dropping the state of the first peak received by the raiders.

"Of course, you look at him and all this, but you do not have the slightest control over what the other team actually prepares, if you do not play them," said Davis Rapoport. "We're not playing the bears, and we're not playing the cowboys."

In the event that the season ended now, the raiders would have had the 3rd, 23rd and 26th elections in the 2019 NFL plan. And but each team would like to own in its own resolution 3 peaks of the first round, Oakland is obliged to make the right choice.

If not, the future head of the raiders under the control of Davis and Gruden has the opportunity to face the same fate, in fact that Mackenzie.
