Quote:The Browns front office has made it sound like they will match immediately and that's what the media is saying as well as Browns fans.

 

I mean, wouldn't you match it if you were Haslam? They're in a worse boat than we were in last year. They've got a more antsy fan base that has been through the ringer, with the whole Factory of Sadness name and all. They need to build a winner, and you don't do that letting a Pro Bowl centerpiece of your offense skip town without a hint of compensation. They'll probably match, which will suck for us. But, we've lost nothing in the deal... We just go back to looking for the right guy. 

 

 

For the record, I hope they don't match, though.
