darren15 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Looks like Mitch could stay with Browns.....$7.5m a year Mary Kay Cabot @MaryKayCabot 2m2 minutes ago Hearing RT Mitchell Schwartz has a decent chance of returning to the #Browns. About $7.5 million a year.
TexasAg1969 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Finally a bit of good news on a rainy day here in Tejas.
gftChris Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Wow, it's raining there? That must be sad! Meanwhile in London...
TexasAg1969 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Wow, it's raining there? That must be sad! Meanwhile in London... Breaking our two month drought.
gftChris Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Breaking our two month drought. Sounds like good news. Now we just need to break our three decade drought of success...
The Gipper Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Hopefully gets done. 7.5 mill seems about right.
darren15 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Posted March 9, 2016 Hold on....lol Michael Silver @MikeSilver 4m4 minutes ago I am hearing that RT Mitchell Schwartz likely won't return to the Browns...
calfoxwc Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 well, if silver said it, must be that even Mary Kay Cabot is correct: Mary Kay Cabot (@MaryKayCabot) 1 hour ago - View on Twitter Hearing RT Mitchell Schwartz has a decent chance of returning to the #Browns. About $7.5 million a year. Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) 9 mins ago - View on Twitter I am hearing that RT Mitchell Schwartz likely won't return to the Browns...
The Gipper Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Maybe we should just hear from the Browns and Schwartz and let all these prognosticators go suck eggs.
calfoxwc Posted March 9, 2016 Report 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.
darren15 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Posted March 9, 2016 ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk 1m1 minute ago Per multiple sources, Browns have yanked offer to OL Mitchell Schwartz.
calfoxwc Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 apparently, the bidding war is way out of control.. the Osemele deal raises the stakes dramatically. http://www.dawgsbynature.com/2016/3/8/11180630/kelechi-osemeles-massive-deal-makes-it-unlikely-that-both-alex-mack
Mike H Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Michael Silver @MikeSilver I'm told the Browns had an offer on the table for RT Mitchell Schwartz... and pulled it. Source close to Schwartz. https://twitter.com/MikeSilver/status/707628610014740480
Alkid3 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Offer for Mitchell Schwartz... not likely to return to CLE
Mike H Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Michael Silver @MikeSilver Said a Browns player re: the team pulling its offer for RT Mitchell Schwartz: "I'm as confused as anyone." @nflnetwork
hoorta Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 apparently, the bidding war is way out of control.. the Osemele deal raises the stakes dramatically. http://www.dawgsbynature.com/2016/3/8/11180630/kelechi-osemeles-massive-deal-makes-it-unlikely-that-both-alex-mack Well, just takes one crackhead deal to get everyone else (Schwartz) thinking they can match it. $12 million for a guard? More than what Joe T is making? That expanded cap is giving teams delusions.
Mike H Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Osemele got LT money, because he plays OT too.
Tour2ma Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Pulled an offer??? Only way you'd do that is if another, better option had developed...
Mike H Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Pulled an offer??? Only way you'd do that is if another, better option had developed... Or they decided to blow it up after Mack and Benjamin left. Not saying I believe that, just a thought.
Tour2ma Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Or they decided to blow it up after Mack and Benjamin left. Not saying I believe that, just a thought. Yeah.. maybe... but not feeling that. Not being able to patch the one hole in your boat is no reason to knock another hole in it...
Mike H Posted March 9, 2016 Report 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.
Tour2ma Posted March 9, 2016 Report 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 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 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".
Tour2ma Posted March 9, 2016 Report 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. 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.
Mudfly Posted March 9, 2016 Report 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....
