Quote:Yeah but the Browns only want him if he gets a LONG TERM contract.

 

 

Quote:Theres a decent chance the Browns dont match. Having nearly 20% of the cap tied into 2 lineman isnt very smart. They need to pay Gordon, Cameron, and a couple very good defensive players. Hard to do that with 1/4 of your cap being offensive lineman. 

 

For instance our whole line next year (inlcuding Mack) will cost the same as only Thomas + Mack for the Browns. 

 

Wishful thinking IMO....

 

I'm sure that by transitioning Mack they knew they'd have to match whatever contract another team offered barring something with really creative/ hard to match terms. 

 

This contract is not that. The Browns will likely match, and quickly, too. Nothing to think about at all.
