    No, no center @ 4

  • Travis Swanson in the 3rd .....

  • no center @4 but it might make the need for one of the top 2 OL @4 a must.

    i mean how are we going to run the ball from the center to right tackle?

    i hate this game mack is playing and i hate the fact that he doesn't want to be here BUT it takes years for an OL to gel and really the only holes we've had are on the right side. keeping mack would mean we'd only have to tweak a couple of moves there (maybe taking a tackle moving schwartz inside?). losing mack means we have to look at other options that might cost us more in the long run and basically throw the running game out the window for the year.

    but deep down inside i want to say FUCK YOU MACK and be done with the prick.

  • Imagine his effort after getting his huge payday, coupled with playing somewhere that he doesn't want to be............

  • we should not match the offer sheet. If we match it won't be good for the locker room and it has been stated he doesn't want be a brown since last year. Let the bitch walk

  • I mean I don't know what the numbers are but lets say they are talking about a 5 year 50 mil deal with 30 mil in the first year (sounds crazy, but I have no idea how front heavy they would have to make it) That means the next 4 years he's getting 20 mil or 4 mil a year on average. I'd bite that bullet. We are basically done in FA anyways and that would open up a lot of cap room for the future to resign Gordon, Cameron etc.

    does that sounds crazy?

    edit - unless he really has told Pettine/Farmer I do not want to be there ... then deuces. If it is just about getting the most money then that's different.

  • Alex Mack is a fat titted bitch and I'd tell him that to his face.

    According to his Wikipedia, his first name is Javon.

    Go to Jacksonville, Gaylord.

  • Too much for a center. I know he is good, but he's not the best in the league and he should not be payed like it.

    He is def top 5 at his position. Jags have less money then the Browns, so I find it hard for them to make a deal too rich for the Browns that doesn't really handcuff the Jags were the Browns not to match.

  • Two word for him...................Fuck you! Seriously game playing cunt can play somewhere else who gives a shit. He is a center that can be replaced.

  • Why go to an inferior team? I guess they did bet the Browns last year but why Jacksonville? Is it ALL about money? If so, peace Mack

    Hopefully the Jags make an offer to get us off the hook. 10+ Million for a center?? No way.

  • Joe Thomas averages 11.5 million a year and Mack thinks he's worth 10 or more? Give me a break.

    I dont recall Mack ever stating he was worth 10 million. Maybe he did I dont know.

  • I thought he wanted Tackle money and not center money.

  • Honestly, does this dude just not want to be a Brown? The Jaguars? Wtf.

    Team has made a lot of improvements this offseason, and are taking good steps to being a winning team and the dude would rather get more money from the Jaguars. Let him go.

  • If he goes fuck him!

    I could be dead wrong, but I stated to Cal even before free agency that I don't think Mack ever wanted to be in Cleveland. This search for a "contract that the Browns won't match" pretty much confirms it & I say again that he can be replaced.

    We may miss his talent for awhile, but "indifference" is never missed.

  • The Browns will overpay for him, any team that beats that is going to WAY overpay for him. Let him go get his warm weather, I genuinely don't care.

  • It seems the Browns have done due diligence in showing Mack he's their first choice under certain circumstances. The FO, from the owner to the OC visited Mack with a 'come on man'. Kyle undoubtedly gave Mack some insight into the scheme Mack would be expected to play in...Mack hedged and the Browns gave him a way to keep his high salary with the Transition tag and at the same time did all they could to avoid having a Center with a bad 'tude if Mack ends up being the Browns' center for another season.

    In other words, Mack said no and the Browns did all they could to avoid having a pissed off center playing in games.

    The Browns fall back position still gets a not bad. Players can be acquired even after the final roster cut time. I'm convinced Farmer, Pettine and Shanahan have a back up plan. The Center is the lynch pin of the OL.
