Mack got 6 years, $141 million. Highest paid defender in the NFL. Raiders couldn't afford that with their cap situation. To pull out a pair of 1st rounders and a 3rd rounder (from a team that's likely to be bad), was a very good haul. Understandably, there's been a very emotional response to the trade, but from a logical standpoint, it makes perfect sense.
Makes me appreciate (even more) the Bengals finding ways to keep their top guys though. We've rarely had issues there.
