Report: Colts in talks for Alex Mack (mega-merge)

[vitoaf27]

@rapsheet What’s going on with #Browns center Alex Mack? I’m told 4 teams have been in contact on varying levels. Waiting for the frenzy to die down

 

@rapsheet On Alex Mack? Yes. Ravens, too. RT @Steve_Cardenas: @RapSheet Are the Colts one of those teams?

[Day at the Hilton]

I saw this too...well this shows that they don't think Holmes will start week 1

[coltsfanatic24]

Mack and BDP are really the only good centers available. If we sign Mack i think will have a top 5 O-line.

[#BringBobBack]

i wish i could see a report on us showing interest in BDP at least bring him in for a visit before breaking the bank on mack

[Can'tStandYa]

I was thinking today, no moves so far today, that's probably good news. It means we are either waiting for the price of decker to go down, or..... Alex Mack. Either or, it has been the best couple of days in the colts offseason since we drafted andrew luck. Go colts!

[mattceinicram]

I don't see this happening unless we put up 12+ mil a year....but I'm oddly very ok with that

In a perfect world, Mack would graciously sign with us for a reasonable $5 million a year, and the Browns wouldn't match.  If only.

[USAFHoosier]

Would cost a lot but would be a nice addition.

Twitter works funny--when somebody "retweets" somebody else, they make their comments at the beginning of the tweet. Essentially the conversation was like this:

 

Ian Rapoport: What’s going on with Browns center Alex Mack? I’m told 4 teams have been in contact on varying levels. Waiting for the frenzy to die down

Twitter user: Are the Colts on those teams?

Ian Rapoport: On Alex Mack? Yes. Ravens, too.

[COLTS449]

The title of this thread is somewhat misleading. When I clicked on it I was expecting to see we were bringing him in for a visit or something.

[COLTS449]

Never mind. I get it now.

Colts are indeed in talks with him my nfl mobile app just informed me. ... Sorry I don't know how to link it

Not sure Top 5 until we get better at the OG.  Certainly a much improved OL

[theanarchist]

Another Browns player? OK, I know Mack is a premier C but why are we getting all these Browns players? First Richardson, that's worked out great so far....then Jackson who I'm still not sold on....and now Mack.

[Mr. Irrelevant]

How expensive would he be? I doubt we would poke his agent if we knew he wants 10+ mill, and we only will give, say max 5 mill on a Center.

We're grabbing Joe Haden next

Let's trade for Josh Gordon while we're at it.

It's a good thing Superman and I did the heavy lifting on contract negotiation last night.

maybe mack can get richardson going.

[GoColtsGo5150]

I like our chances for a few reasons:

1.we have the cap room to take him.

2. Chud could be useful piece in negotiations ( like with Dqwell)

3m I somehow think it would be really stupid (even for the Browns) to let Mack go to their division rivals with the Baltimore Ravens.

Someone needs to. maybe Mack can lineup behind Richardson and kick him in @#%& and get him going...

Good point!

I'd like to know how that would be possible. I don't see how anybody could offer Mack a contract that the Browns couldn't match. It makes no sense.

[PeterBowman]

Grigson:  Would you rather be snapping the ball to Brandon Weeden, Joe Flacco, or Andrew Luck?

 

 

Mack:  Where do I sign?

[TKnight24]

Me if we somehow land Alex Mack

 

 

 

 

 

[ColtsBTM12]

Hey, with a GM like Grigson, you know he will do everything he can to make it happen.

[itmustbejj]

Because they were a garbage team that perenially collected early first rounders?

And we're going to keep picking up Browns players, until you're happy about it...........  

[Colts_Fan12]

I don't understand it. It took we awhile to figure out we were actually interested in Mack

[PeterBowman]

Mack:  Where do I sign?

nevermind, they just cut Weeden
