Quote:I thought the Browns put the transitional player tag on Mack and he otherwise would have been unrestricted. Am I wrong about that?

 

You are correct. 

 

I should have phrased what I expressed better.   By Restricted,  I didn't mean a RFA in the sense of a player that had 3 accrued seasons in the NFL.  I meant restricted in the sense that the Transition Tag restricted him from signing with another team w/o the possibility of the offer being matched.
