Browns C Alex Mack Expected To Opt Out Of Deal, But Return To CLE A “Real Possibility”

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that while Browns C Alex Mack is still expected to opt-out of his current contract, sources have told him a return to Cleveland is a “real possibility.

All indications have been that Mack was likely to test the open market this year, as his contract is designed to give him an out before the start of free agency.

Either way, Mack is in line for another sizable contract that could leave him among the highest paid interior offensive linemen in the league.

Mack, 29, is technically in the second year of his five-year, $42 million contract that included $26 million guaranteed. He would make annual base salaries of $8 million over the remainder of the agreement and the deal includes a no-trade clause.

In 2015, Mack appeared in all 16 games and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 16 center out of 40 qualifying players.

We’ll have more regarding Mack and a possible return to Cleveland as the news is available.
