    Actually ...

    Barny:68- 930 - 13.7 - 9

    Kelce: 65 - 822 - 12.6 - 4

    Beats him in every category and catched TDs with his balls.

    I'm a little surprised at Mack... better 2nd half of the season?

    Its one of those cases where he gets voted in on his name and reputation. Same with Thomas. They were not Pro Bowl caliber this year. Pro bowl is a joke nowadays, Id like to see it voted on by people actually in the league

    Barney 1 TD away from breaking Ozzie's TD's in a season with 10. G. Olsen & Kelce MAYBE better all around at position when you add in blocking but you cannot block down field nor blitz in a Pro Bowl. As a Browns fan you do not want players decided by league nor league members. The Pro Bowl is now the worst of all All Stars Game in all sports because the rules of it takes the actual game away. As a star of the game they should be embarrassed to show up but some go cause they see the fans want them their. When others decide not to go for money as a participate Trophy..

    When you look at the tight ends on the SB roster, theres a good chance a couple of them will be busy that week (NE,Car,Cin, KC) and Barny is an alternate, so he may get that birth after all.

    Barnidge should have been in, too. That's wrong that he wasn't.

    Reputation I fear......and lack of quality alternates. (Maurkice Pouncey out)

    Like a high school popularity contest. Mack and Thomas made it on their names, while Barney should've made it on his play..... What a joke.

    What about Schwartz? I thought he deserved it over Mack.

    So, here are my questions on Mack, if anyone knows about specifics of his contract situation.....

    a ) Since he's under contract. should it be assumed he cannot negotiate(or shop himself) with other teams?....I know he has an opt out, so Im guessing he has to opt out first and become a FA?.....anyone know?

    B ) His contract goes through 2018 or 19.....so can he opt out every year going forward, or is this the only year and if he doesnt use it he stays the term?....curious....

    Per my understanding:

    A) he would need to first opt out. I'm sure his agent will be doing things on the sly though and he wouldn't opt out without interest.

    😎 it's only this year.

    40% of our o-line makes the Pro Bowl, yet we can't run or keep a QB healthy......... Guess our RBs really are that bad.
