Alex Mack could still play for the Cleveland Browns in 2016, but it won't be under his existing contract.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the Pro Bowl center is expected to opt-out of his current deal, according to multiple sources. Rapoport said a new contract between Mack and the Browns is a "real possibility."
A first-round pick in 2009, Mack is on record that winning is "really important" to him as he enters his eighth season in the NFL. The Browns have gone 33-79 since Mack got to town, but the center reportedly came out of a Super Bowl week meeting with new Browns coach Hue Jackson feeling optimistic about the franchise's direction.
