Quote:If you ask Cleveland fans and sportwriters, they'd tell you that Mack had a very disappointing season.  I think there's a lot of "we'd be all set!" thinking here that is looking at his <2014 performance.

Quote: 

Mack is now 30. He was paid $10 million in 2014, $8 million this season.

He has three more years remaining on the contract at $8 million annually. But the contract gives him an option to become a free agent.

Odds are, Mack will explore the market. And odds are, some teams will be very interested.

I'm not sure Mack truly has had a Pro Bowl caliber season. He was coming off major ankle surgery that wiped out the final 11 games of 2014. Early this season, he was struggling. He has played better lately, and was voted to the Pro Bowl team.

Profootballfocus listed him as one of five players who should not have been picked for the Pro Bowl team. They rank him No. 18 among centers. They say he has allowed four sacks, second most among NFL centers.
