choco Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 No way. 16.4 M maybe. If he were to only cost 6.4 then any number of bites on that fishhook would have been made.its true....he has a very strange contract. But the number being floated by obr insiders is 9 mil. It actually reads like a bunch of 1 year deals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 The trade is being finalized. It includes a first round pick. They're trying to work out the compensation for Alex Mack; the Buccaneers want him and he wants the Buccaneers. Instead of trying to come up with a contract that the Browns won't match they're trying to go about it a more civil way. you ARE the source. well you know shit. talking about a trade thru the raiders and back to cleveland is preposterous. let's see what happens by 3 PM tomorrow when the bucs will owe him a million extra in bonus money if he's still on their roster. you think a trade is going to happen when a player gets cut? GTFO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babernakle Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Why trade picks away tomorrow he will be released buy him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownSouthKC Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Why trade picks away tomorrow he will be released buy him then. I assume you didn't read the rest of the thread. He's not a free agent. He just signed a 6 year 96 mill deal last year. The Bucs may cut him ($0 guaranteed) to free up the 16 mil and 1.5 mil signing bonus but a free agent he ain't.

hammertime Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think the OP got wind of something and then went beserk. Revis would be just fine in a Browns uni. I just hope were careful in this fantasy football defense being floated around...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choco Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 A trade ensures hes ours. There's no guarantee we can sign him if he hits FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 i personally don't want him. he was a bitch diva in NY, who held out past TC, and was made to look like a dick. so much for revis island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Make-Believe Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Pardon my ignorance in this case (it won't be the last)... But is acquiring Revis still a possibility? Like a... within the realm of reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yup....we are currently in trade talks with the bucs. Reportedly, mack may be part of the deal. But that's not set in stone. Its very unlikely revis will approve a restructuring of his contract, but we can take it on this year. Minefield Dixon wouldnt have shit on haden revis. We will know by 4 pm tomorrow either way. It appears we are the last suitors for him, as the raiders have ducked out of negotiations. Not many teams have the cap to take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdice42 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't see how the Browns could even consider letting Mack go. You kind of need an offensive line to play tackle football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree he is a little bitch sometimes but I think you wait till tomorrow see if they keep him if not so what if they release him sign him for a fair price.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but if it really made the difference... I'd say piss on restructuring the contract. Having Revis here in addition to the moves we've already seen (in addition to anything else that's done) would be incredible for the Browns. And sometimes when you're a franchise that's struggling and have that reputation around the league, you have to spend money in areas that you normally wouldn't. That defense would be MURDER to come up against and would solidify the identity that Farmer/Pettine aim for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenew23 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 We're the only team considering trading for him, but I assure you if he is released tomorrow there will be close to 31 teams trying to re-sign him for reasonable money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erie Dawg Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 He don't want to come to Cleveland. It would take his current yearly salary to come here. I can see him taking way less to go to a perennial winner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they may not cut him and they would guarantee to have him of they wanted him instead of vying against every other team. It makes sense either way.

cambridgeho Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Wont be any Revis Island in Browns town. I would be amazing if we had him and Joe, but just dont see it being for real. I wonder if they are using the Mack rumor to tell Macks agent to fuck off. Because if we trade Mack to TB for Revis, he wont be getting the money he wants right now.

Mr. Make-Believe Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 If Mack doesn't want to be here, then honor his wishes and get something for him while one can. I keep checking this thread for updates HOPING that there will be some positive news. Revis would be an awesome addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.R.Brown1968 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 They just said on NFL Network that Revis wasn't willing to restructure his contract to come here. They said a trade is unlikely. I would say based on that, he'll get cut tomorrow ... And he'll prob end up with the same amount we were willing to pay him ... But on the teams of his choice. Maybe even take a little less to play for a potential winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianBrownsFan Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I understand that Revis isn't willing to restructure but I think I the Browns should still throw a 6th or 7th rounder to Tampa before they are forced to cut him. Tampa needs to cut him tomorrow or they have to give the Jets a 3 instead of a 4...We would just be giving up a very late pick. Once we own his rights we can wait for the free agent market to dry up and gain leverage in negotiations with Revis. If in a month or so he still isnt willing to restructure we release him and lose a very late pick. If Revis has half a brain though he will realize that most teams have moved on to other FA or draft picks and there wont be a huge market for him if the Browns release him. I definitely think the Browns should give this a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin J Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 When we look at his cap hit in the future, we can say we pay a 5 million dollar~ were Cleveland and he wouldnt come in free agency ~ penalty. And cut him for free any time. If we can get two elite years hes worth the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And cut him for free any time. If we can get two elite years hes worth the pick. Agreed!! And a move like that would help bring some success. And SUCCESS is going to make it easier to bring FA's to Cleveland. I don't really see the downside to a move like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
