The football world woke up to the news Saturday morning that the Oakland Raiders were trading star pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears.

Mack's exodus shocked, pleased and angered many around the league. As former Raiders teammate Bruce Irvin summed up Saturday, "No f----- way."

Raiders quarterback, and Mack's draft classmate, Derek Carr was less profrane than Irvin but equally irked:
