Khalil Mack to be fined $814K for skipping preseason game
There remains no end in sight for the impasse reached between the Oakland Raiders and their star pass rusher Khalil Mack in his quest for a new contract.
Khalil Mack still not in Raiders camp and won’t be tonight, per source. Which means: By not showing up to camp before the first preseason game tonight, Mack will be fined $814,000, per CBA. It is latest sign of Mack’s unhappiness, resolve. His holdout continues, no end in sight.

Having held out since the start of camp, Mack will not be on the field for the team’s preseason opener against the Detroit Lions on Friday evening, despite a looming $814,000 fine as determined by the CBA.
Mack is entering the final season of his rookie contract that is set to pay him $13.8 million. He has held out throughout the offseason as he looks for a new long-term contract extension.
