Not as upset as most about this:

Peter King @SI_PeterKing

Ex-Cle center Alex Mack will average @$9.5m in Atlanta deal. Could have made 500k more on ave in Cleve. Atl OC KShanahan a factor for Mack.

There it is.....signed for "less"....no surprise at all...

Looks like it's about to be a done deal. Alex Mack to Falcons. We are losing good players left and right. We need to act fast.

Better have Wisnewski on speed dial.

Apparently didn't like Cleveland. If we want to keep Schwartz, we're going to have to overpay.

[calfoxwc]

wanted to start winning. Gave up one year too soon.

although, they can't actually sign til 4... ? crap.

Another California kid that didn't like northern weather. So much nicer in Atlanta...

Okay, now I really want Wentz over Goff. lol

Is Erving plan B? Some 4th round OT?

Pasztor is plan B maybe.

Well, they didn't seem to help the Browns win games did they.

No clue. I'm shocked. Need to think on it.

Apparently it's a 5-yr deal with the first 2 and a good piece of the 3rd fully guaranteed. A lot more to contracts than average $/yr....

[Bob806]

Damn, I didn't think he wanted to be here.

Maybe he recovers fully and plays well on the turf in Atlanta.

I'm staying away from the 480 Bridge today. Losing 3 FAs on and under-talented team isn't a good look.

Travis Benjamin all the way on the other side of the country. As far as he could go. Alex Mack signing for less is no surprise, if you're unhappy all the money in the world won't help.

Cameron Erving under center? Isn't that his natural position?

If forced to chose between standing on it and under it... take the on...

[hx214]

Got bored, went over to a Falcons Forum real quick, was surprised to see that not to many people were real happy they brought Mack in for the money they spent. Hmm...

1. Sometimes less is more...
2. Natural position? So far that would seem to be on his ass/back...

Done deal ......Mack is a Falcon

Falcons make it official, land former Browns C Alex Mack.

[jiggins7919]

CBS reporting that we also made a nice offer to Scwartz, but then Sashi Brown retracted it. No idea what is going on. I think it's pretty clear we're going to lose Benji, Mack, and Schwartz. I realize you can't overpay for people, but a 3-13 team losing the few producing players it has can't be good, right?

At least we have Cam Erving, right? Oh...wait...

they are all replaceable, key part of statement is we won 3 games with them.

Mack took less $ (reportedly) to leave bc of the way the Browns FO negotiated?

Analytically speaking
