      Is Erving plan B? Some 4th round OT?

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

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

        Okay, now I really want Wentz over Goff. lol

        And that explains ATL???

        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.

        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....

          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?

            DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

                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...

                        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.

                                This is a reality that many here don't want to face, no FA worth anything is coming to Cleveland unless they completely overpay. This organization is a complete shit show and now it's starting to get sad that "homegrown" players want to get out of Berea as soon as they can.

                                      We'll now have 3 extra compensatory 3rd-round picks in the 2017 draft. Clap it up for the FO!
