Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack and Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby are among the eight finalists for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.
The Los Angeles Rams made a pitch to acquire premier pass rusher Khalil Mack with the intention of signing him to a long-term deal and paying him this year, then dealing him at the end of the season, according to sources.
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said Monday the shock of teammate Khalil Mack being trade has worn off "because we're back to work."
Raiders coach Jon Gruden said on Sunday that Khalil Mack's contract demands were simply too large for the team's comfort, and the trade offer from the Chicago Bears was too good to pass up.
DE Khalil Mack, traded from Oakland to Chicago, is now the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history with a six-year extension that averages $23.5M per season.
The Bears just got one of the league's best pass-rushers, and he's still in his prime. How? The answer isn't simple. Bill Barnwell makes sense of the megadeal.
