I think the odds are still in favor of him being in Cleveland but I don't get the feeling this is a slam dunk that they match the offer.  For Dave and crew to even entertain this type of deal, I don't foresee the offer being something half-hearted.  I would think it would be something Dave seriously feels Cleveland would hesitate to match and if Mack signs it...that leads me to think Mack and his agent surely don't expect Cleveland to match the offer.  

 

Either way I applaud Dave for taking the chance.  Mack is a very good player and would offer us the best center play we have seen in many years.  It would be nice to have him with a younger guy likely at QB sooner than later.  A veteran presence (and one that plays at his level) would be a good add with a rookie QB.
