Bad news for those Oakland Raiders fans hoping for a quick solution to Khalil Mack's holdout, as there doesn't appear to be any communication between head coach Jon Gruden and the star defensive end.
Mack and Gruden haven't spoken since the former broadcaster took the head coaching job with the team in January, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The 27-year-old Mack is in the final year of his rookie deal on a fifth-year option and is slated to make $13.8 million this season. Steve Wyche of NFL Network reported in April that Mack is seeking a contract with over $65 million in guarantees.
Honored as the 2016 AP Defensive Player of the Year, Mack is one of the premier pass-rushers in the NFL, posting 40.5 sacks over his first four seasons.
