Quote:If the speculative reports that are being floated turn out to be remotely accurate, it's close to what you're suggesting with $30 million guaranteed over the first 3 years.  That's a pretty tall order for a team like Cleveland to absorb knowing they've got a couple of big contract negotiations with other players on the horizon.  This is a luxury the Jags have as they don't have any looming re-works to do in the next year or two that are going to command the kind of money the Browns are going to be on the hook for. 

 

While it may be overspending to land Mack, if the numbers are accurate, it's worth the gamble to secure one of the best players at that position.

That would be tougher but doable, we need to see the details though because there are rumor of an opt out after 2 yrs which would potentially void the third yr. And if Mack were to not opt out that would tell me he would be open to modifying his deal. So lots of unknowns yet. And as you said before a lot of what has leaked could be misinformation.
