Quote:Its not 30 MIL over 2 years...

 

Its 30 MIL over 3 years. Its like 18 MIL over the first 2. 

 

 

Quote:If the speculative reports that are being floated turn out to be remotely accurate, it's close to what you're suggesting with $30 million guaranteed over the first 3 years.  That's a pretty tall order for a team like Cleveland to absorb knowing they've got a couple of big contract negotiations with other players on the horizon.  This is a luxury the Jags have as they don't have any looming re-works to do in the next year or two that are going to command the kind of money the Browns are going to be on the hook for. 

 

While it may be overspending to land Mack, if the numbers are accurate, it's worth the gamble to secure one of the best players at that position.

 

He cited 15 MIL over 2 years. I cited 30 MIL over 3, with 18 MIL over the first 2, which are the numbers being reported from PFT. 

 

That is not a tall order for Cleveland to match. If it was they'd never have even transistioned him in the first place. 

 

The Cap will be going up 5-10 MIL each year over the next 3-5 years, with the current TV deal. Cleveland can easily extend their players and afford Mack too under the PFT numbers.
