According to Dan Pompei of the Bleacher Report, Browns C Alex Mack “figures to have quite a market in free agency based on the buzz around the league.”
Pompei mentions that the Browns chances of getting Mack locked up before the start of free agency aren’t very good unless they’re willing to overpay him and rules out the franchise tag based on the fact that it would cost Cleveland close to $11 million.
Pompei goes as far to say that Mack could end up being one of the-five highest paid centers in the league following free agency.
Retaining Mack and S T.J. Ward figure to be at the top of the Browns’ offseason priorities list. The should have plenty of cap space to work with again this offseason, but re-signing these two players should take a big chuck of their liquidity.
We have Mack listed as the No. 17 player in our Top 50 Free Agents list.
