Jon Gruden doesn't believe the holdout of Khalil Mack is a distraction for the Oakland Raiders.

"I don't think it's been a distraction," Gruden said. "It's obviously, for me, been disappointing. You want to have your best player here. This guy is really a great guy, too. I'm disappointed we don't have him here. Going to try to get him here as soon as we can. In the time being, you've got to move on. You've got to get up and go to work. That's one thing I'm very proud of what we've done here."

Mack, who is due $13.846 million in this, the fifth-year option of his contract, is holding out for a contract extension.
