Flyin J Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 We still have the option of doing it later, I believe. This will be a make or break season for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 May not make the team. Zombo Don't know about not making the team- but his production to date sure as hell doesn't warrant a contract extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 He's already behind Kruger and Orchard and was behind A. Bryant who I am writing off. Now add Ogbah and Schobert ... he's getting buried. If it is pass coverage that he brings to the table, Kirksey is good at that and perhaps Schobert too. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Obviously not picking up the option - is he an $12m player? Even for one year? Hell no. Might he be if he explodes for 15 sacks? Sure, I guess. But more likely, he ends up cut, after failing to get a sack again (or fewer than 3, say), or he ends up doing pretty well in coverage, gets maybe 5-6 sacks, and we end up signing him for $6m - in that situation, having him sitting on essentially a franchise tender at $12m does not work to our advantage.

bbedward Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Easy decision, he's had no production and would cost $11-12M in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy decision, he's had no production and would cost $11-12M in 2017. He won't cost anything next year (2017) UFA, Current level of play? Adios. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/barkevious-mingo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvoethe Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Ron Schwane-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters Report: Browns decline 5th-year option on Barkevious Mingo May 2 2016, 2:35 PMJack Browne The Cleveland Browns declined to exercise the fifth-year option on linebacker Barkevious Mingo's contract, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cleveland selected Mingo with the sixth overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, but after a promising rookie season in which he racked up five sacks, his production and playing time has fallen off a cliff. The 25-year-old started 11 games in 2014, registering 42 total tackles and two sacks, but started just two games in 2015 and failed to pick up a single sack. The option would have paid Mingo just under $12 million in 2017. With a new regime in Cleveland, Mingo will likely be given a final chance to prove himself in 2016. If not, he'll be headed into free agency next offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Post Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Maybe no 5th year option is a good thing. Players seem to pick it up a step and perform better on a contract year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hope the Browns keep an eye out for him in FA next year. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15448112/jacksonville-jaguars-decline-pick-luke-joeckel-option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wargograw Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 He's been a bust so far, man. Very disappointing. Maybe he'll pick it up with some talent around him. Jake was god awful as a rookie but pretty solid last year so there's hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I saw where a number of other players also did not have their option picked up.

Jarvis Jones, Dee Milner Actually, a lot of guys: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000659379/article/fifthyear-option-tracker-for-2013-firstround-picks Based on the number of first round guys from that draft who didn't get their options picked up- 14 if I counted correctly = under performance, goes to show how even the first round can be iffy. Browns fans wanted Dee Milliner BADLY in that draft Some Browns fans London. Ansah who I wanted, went one pick before Barky. With 20\20 hindsight- it was pretty slim pickings at #6 and below in the first round that year. Eifert and Hopkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibleedbrown Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 offseason weight program didn't go as well as advertised evidently. I totally missed the news about the offseason weight program. In case you did too... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000655235/article/bodybuilding-granny-helps-browns-mingo-get-jacked Good stuff. Body building grandma. I remember a past interview where Mingo basically said that he couldn't gain weight no way no how, so it'll be interesting to see if this will be interesting.
