Quote:Exactly this. At a minimum the Browns keep their stalwart center for 2 more seasons. During that time Mack can guage whether or not things are on the upswing and restructure or opt out for free agency. Personally I can't Blame the guy for wanting to test the open water after 5 years, and I understand why The browns made the move they did by giving him the transition tag. At that point with the cap space Cleveland had, every team in the NFL knew they would have to pony up the big bucks just to have a shot. All the while Mack knew he was gonna get paid big time either way and that was all that mattered.


Also to the posters who think that if the Browns match, its gonna prevent them from re signing Hayden, Gordon etc... Runyon said it quite a few times, they will have plenty of space to do those deals. Farmer is no joke, he knows what he's doing.


I came to this site to see what the jags fans thought about the whole situation. I have read the last 20 or so pages in this thread and something really jumped out at me. When the first reports of a deal between Mack and the jags came out, THE MAD DOG made quite a few comments that were pretty much spot on. Granted, not every detail is out there yet, but the main issue THE MONEY is, and being reported by multiple sources on NFL.COM and just about every other sports site you can think of. The offer that the jags made just wasn't enough to get it done, and even if the Browns only have Mack for 2 more years, that offer saved them a few million. Then from that point quite a few of you went on to to just lambaste the dude for stating the obvious. Reading all this, I felt like I was watching a pack of middle school bullies beating on some kid. If I was a Jacksonville jaguars fan reading that, dude id be embarrassed. I know on the Browns board we might cuss like sailors and make a few momma or [BLEEP] jokes, but we respect our fellow Browns fans. THE MAD DOG, if you ever want to talk football with some real fans, drop on by. You even have a name that will fit in......

I rolled on the floor laughing, With all those missed reads in the pocket Manziel had to improvise. If he had just stuck to the play book (or just be Teddy Bridgewater) A&M would have been in the National Title hunt late
