Matching Jaguars’ Offer for C Alex Mack Was Absolute No-Brainer for Browns

The Cleveland Browns are something of a punchline among other NFL fans. Granted, the organization has brought much of that on themselves with 15 years of futility since rejoining the league.
Well, beleaguered Browns fans, buck up! For once, the Cleveland front office managed to do something right. And it wasn't even in a Kevin Costner movie or anything!
Of course, the decision was a complete no-brainer, but still...
And yes, I'm snarky. My first season as a young Browns fan ended with "Red Right 88." Suffer through the indignities I have over three decades for the love of this dumpster fire of a football team and you'd get snarky too.
Still, give credit where it's due.
With Cleveland center (and transition-tag designee) Alex Mack agreeing to terms with the Jacksonville Jaguars on a five-year, $42 million contract, the Browns were left with a decision.
Match the amount and terms of the offer or watch the 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowler walk out the door.
