Report: Raiders not pursuing Mack trade, would want at least 2 1st-rounders

The Oakland Raiders don't seem intent on trading edge rusher Khalil Mack with the season inching closer unless they receive an offer they can't refuse, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Mack has held out of training camp while searching for a massive contract extension and several teams have reportedly inquired about his availability in a trade, including the New York Jets.

The Raiders don't appear immediately interested in negotiating, however, and would require a massive sum to move Mack, beginning with two first-round picks.

"(Raiders GM) Reggie McKenzie has had multiple offers to him - a first-round pick and another high pick. I've been told he's been offered a player for Khalil Mack. To this point, none of that has gotten anywhere," Pelissero said on NFL Network's "Total Access Live" on Wednesday. "So what people around the league believe is that to even start the conversation, you're talking about having to offer two first-round picks on top of needing to give (Mack) a top-of-market, $20 million-plus per year contract."

The 2016 Defensive Player of the Year is scheduled to make $13.846 million during the last season of his rookie deal.
