Alex Mack

Alex Mack is undoubtedly one of the best centers in the NFL today. He recently signed with the Atlanta Falcons on March 9.

Here's some analysis from sources that are not our own on Mack:

Analysis #1: You'd have to be living in a pretty secret world to not be aware that Alex Mack would be opting out of his contract. Mack, who is just 30, is one of the top centers in the NFL and has plenty left in the tank. He signed a 5-year, $42 million offer sheet two offseasons ago, so he should receive a similar sort of contract this spring. (Walter Football)

Analysis #2: The 30-year-old Mack struggled for parts of last season, but he's operated as one of the league's top centers from Day One. The money will be steep for a player of his age, but Mack has an excellent chance to finish out his deal as a reliable anchor along Atlanta's O-line.

The Browns, meanwhile, are watching another key player walk out the door. (NFL)
