His cap hit for 2014 is $8.9 million and he's on the old CBA rookie scale but he hasn't signed an extension for $50 million like you claimed. They'll have to ante up a lot of dough to extend him which helps the Jags' case to get Mack.


Gordon's still making peanuts.

 

Not an extension.. Both him and Gordon are going to be looking for big money contracts and The Brownies arn't just gonna let them walk.. They're literally going to EAT Cleveland's cap..

It'll be interesting to watch this play out. In the end, I think Mack's desire to get out of Cleveland coupled with the structure of the deal itself will force Cleveland into a position where they won't match it.


It's nice to see this front office being prudently aggressive here. If they land Mack, it makes an already interesting draft even more so.

 

Seeing that Mack was involved with the framework of the deal, would suggest he may know how to help make it less palatable in some way.

 

48 hours of working together to make it that way, and we'll know sooner than later if it paid off.

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

Its 5 days to match from the moment he signs, correct? 

 

 

So if he signs by noon on Friday, we'll have an answer if he 'll be a Jag or not by noon Wednesday....

That guy is a moderator on the Browns forum 

 

Just look at some of this trash: http://thebrownsboard.com/forums/index.p...ntry397899

 

The Jags are "an expletive of a team that is going nowhere"...

 

I can't believe the way they let them cuss over there.

Yes.


It could be sooner if Cleveland simply opts to pass right away.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Looking at the Browns forum, lol. They either hate Mack for signing the offer sheet or are delusional and think this was a ploy for Cleveland to sign him long term.

Well, it is Cleveland.....

 

 

Kinda fits.

It's not the official Brown forum.

Yeah, when I saw that he was in on the framework, that was encouraging. I think Cleveland's owner will be looking for a way to save face in the next few days.

If this was a Jaguar doing the same thing, I suspect the attitude would be similar here. Some fans don't understand or appreciate that there's a business side to football.

If Mack ends up joining us, I hope he has good bottle dodging skills in case we have to play in the toilet bowl anytime soon.

Yeah, thats true....we would be. Minus the cursing on the board, anyway....

I don't disagree, though I think we'd have a few more with an understanding that it's a business.
