Mack stays with Browns
-
Hey Fagsfan95...here's your new center!
-
The best part of this is the speed with which the Browns matched the offer sheet. No matter what we Fans have to say, there was no 5 days of bullshit, these guys know what they want & they DO IT! They are DECISIVE. No farting around, thinking about & second guessing.
This new FO GETS it!!! You have to love how quickly they act on their decisions. THAT'S being confident & that makes me, as a Fan, more confident and excited for what's ahead.

Hes one of the best centers in the league manGetting Mack back just don't excite me.

yeah we know he is one of the best centers in the league, but if the browns didn't match and he had gone on to say "thank god the browns didn't match," you'd be calling him a scumbag right now.
it was a biz move. got it. still has me wondering his commitment to cleveland.
put it this way, i'm not running out to buy an alex mack jersey anytime soon.

Yep! I'm very pleased with how decisive this FO is, but I also plan to "wait & see" what Mack's commitment to the Browns may be. As far as I'm concerned, he's a 2 year rental until we get his replacement. I still don't think he wants to be here. Maybe he'll prove me wrong but we'll see.

I guess we can stop projecting C in the 4th round ...Mack is Back!
Well that didn't take long: Browns are matching Jacksonville's offer sheet for C Alex Mack. Cleveland keeps Mack, per source.
And saving money over the next 2 yrs. This situation was handled textbook.

I don't know if that's "saving money". The Browns would have saved a ton of it, had they let Mack walk. They get to keep one of the premier centers in the NFL. He's now also the highest paid center in the NFL- by plenty- he had better earn his paychecks.

Mik, somehow I get the feeling Pettine or Farmer called Mack and said "we're almost certainly going to match the Jags offer, you OK with that, or you going to sulk?" Mack should be thrilled about the bucks he's going to be hauling in over the next two years regardless where he's playing- enough to buy a nice retirement oceanfront house in Monterrey.

Yea, no doubt. Hopefully he has the right internal motor to want to excel on the field, even if that field is somewhere he doesn't want to be. Also, maybe the new feel around the organization will be a breath of fresh air for him................ Time will tell.

Winning, the wonder cure! That's all we need to do change his attitude.

well he probably feels great when he turns left lining up to snap the ball and when he turns right and looks at that side of the line, wants to puke.
hopefully within these discussions and him being the highest paid center he chirped in farmer's ear that it might be nice to get some help on the right side.

They saved money in the sense that they were prepared to pay him 10 million this year and 12 million next year through tags and now they are only going to be paying him 18 million total over that span of time.

Hasn't he had that motor every year he has been in the NFL? This is the same guy who has played every snap at center since he was drafted, regardless of injury or sickness.

He also hasn't hit the payday jackpot before, or admitted to not wanting to be in Cleveland.

Exactly. The guy apparentl enjoys his private life and doesn't live and die football. Its a means to an end.I've yet to see him say that he doesn't want to be in Cleveland.
He has a gift and I've never heard anyone say that he was a quitter or lazy.
So we are paying an awful lot of money for an extremely good center. Fair enough.
I always prefer guys who really really want to be Cleveland Browns above all else but that's not the case with most.
And unfortunately some of the ones who do arent really all that good.

Hey I'm just happy to see we didn't really lose any top talent. We slightly upgraded our defense, upgraded WR, etc. Not a bad FA period really. Could use a successful draft.

Upgraded our D? Jury is still out on that

yeah i agree with woodrow. we kinda just filled the holes of browns' players that left.
adding a old vet and another slot receiver is not an upgrade at WR but more a 'fill the roster' move.
we'll see who's still standing after the draft, after the training camp and pre-season to find out if any of those signings were worthwhile.

i heard many reports that he doesn't like in it cleveland, not as a franchise, but as a 'place' to play.
and who knows (hinting ar dbone's post) what happens now that he is the highest paid center. does he lay down knowing his future is set or does he still play balls out?
