The Oakland Raiders shocked a lot of the NFL when they sent their defensive star, Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears in a trade. The Raiders sent Mack and a 2019 second round pick to the Bears for a 2019 and 2020 first round pick and a 2019 third round pick.
A lot of people were caught off guard that the Bears were able to get a second round pick back in the trade and it looks like even Madden wouldn't even let this trade be pulled off.
Farzin Vousoughian posted a picture on Twitter of that trade being attempted on Madden 19 and it appears the trade was declined.

Not only was the trade declined the Raiders didn't even have much interest in the trade and it would have taken a lot more on Madden to get the deal done. Two first round picks seemed to be the asking price to get Mack but it was a bit surprising that the Raiders sent back such a high draft pick to the Bears.
This wrapped up an offseason that seemed to be filled with disappointment for the Raiders and included a lot of questionable decisions.
Jon Gruden’s first offseason #Raiders:
– Build the NFL’s oldest roster (age: 27.4).
– Trade Khalil Mack, who leads all EDGE rushers in pressures since 2014.
– Trade 79 overall for Martavis Bryant, then cut him before Week 1.
– Select T Kolton Miller over S Derwin James.

They also made a trade to get Martavis Bryant from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a third-round draft pick. With Bryant facing a suspension they decided to release him and they won't be getting that pick back.
If Jon Gruden and the Raiders can win a lot of the questions will be answered. If they get off to a slow start there is going to be a lot of questions for their head coach that is locked up for the next ten years.
