With news Khalil Mack is on the trade block in the midst of a holdout with the Oakland Raiders, Niner Noise looks at why the San Francisco 49ers should try to lure the defensive star across the Bay.
Hello, my name is Jeremy. And I am here to tell you that the San Francisco 49ers absolutely should trade for Khalil Mack.
The Oakland Raiders’ edge rusher is reportedly on the trade block, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, and Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller suggests a trade for his All-Pro-level services may not be as lucrative or expensive as one might think.
No ifs or buts, no conditions, no misdirection.
The article is exactly what it says — a trade for Mack is something every Niner fan should at least admit is appealing, even if some don’t want to do it.
