The Gipper Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Maybe we should just hear from the Browns and Schwartz and let all these prognosticators go suck eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 if another team offers Mitchell 8, I'd pay him nine. or maybe ten. Anything past that is dumb. Same goes for Mack. Joe Thomas gets 11. The RT is as important as LT anymore, except he isn't protecting the qb's blind side... and having a great center is what a #1 draft pick needs when he plays.

More than what Joe T is making? That expanded cap is giving teams delusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike H Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I disagree they won't be able to patch it. Greco to C, Erving to G (or Erving to C and Greco stays put), then draft RT and sign a FA. I'm not as extremely negative as Ghoolie, but OL play is replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Not what was meant... Of course there are patches. Just none named Mack. The point was you don't intentionally compound your issues by creating more issues... not without better alternatives or good reasons. Case in point of the latter... It's possible we put an increased offer on the table for Mitch to outbid Team A, and then found out the agent is using our offer to leverage Team B.

Mike H Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I agree with that, but I don't think Mack is as irreplaceable as you do, especially at this point in his career. He'll be good for another couple years, but he's reaching his peak/downward arch of his career. And they are building long-term, and starting over, it seems. We'll see on Schwartz. Posturing is real.

TexasAg1969 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 NFL Network guys made a good point. When you are bringing in a rookie QB you have to overpay to protect him and at this point the Browns don't seem to want to pay the price. Implied that if this is indeed what happens, then they will ruin the new QB and be starting over once again. They just cannot discern what the Browns are up to. Can't figure out their "plan".

Then in that case you must be actively trying to get rid of Mack... I've never come close to saying Mack is "irreplaceable". I've generated multiple scenarios through FA, draft and shuffling our OL to replace him. I've maintained Mitchell was the far more important signing. Why our rookie FO would choose his negotiation to practice posturing is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Pulled an offer??? Only way you'd do that is if another, better option had developed... Word on Schwartz is we had the highest offer on the table and he wants to go "back" to another team(Atl?) and use our price to negotiate....and the Browns said fuck that....
