If you have the CAP room then spend it to the limit. Just don't hinder future maneuvers. You can't carry it over you know.
Plus, that $10 to $11 million dollars isn't what the contract is going to be. That $10 million mentioned in the article was the cost of
franchising transitioning him. Franchising him would only have cost an additional $1.6 million.
Let's wait until we can get a look at the contract.[/QUOTE]

Like I said, they're going to do their best to re-sign him.

If the Browns don’t match the offer, they’ll get no compensation. And they’ll be criticized for using the transition tag (which required a one-year offer of $10 million) instead of applying the franchise tag (which would have cost only another $1.6 million more, and which would have prevented anyone from trying to pilfer him).
We speculated earlier on the terms that could be used to persuade the Browns not to match. Regardless, the Browns seem to be inclined to do what they have to do to keep Mack.
And so the next step will be to find out the terms of the offer and, specifically, the specific wrinkle that could make the Browns think twice about matching.
