The Browns are looking into extending C Alex Mack's contract.
Mack has one year left on his rookie contract, and his salary jumped to $3.732 million based on performance escalators. He's one of the premier run-blocking centers in the league. The Browns had better hope Mack doesn't target Ryan Kalil money. The Panthers grossly overpaid Kalil to the tune of $49 million over six seasons. Mar 3 - 2:34 PM

Alex Mack - C - Browns

Browns C Alex Mack's 2013 salary increased from $1.332 million to $3.732 million after he hit escalators in his rookie deal.

Mack has been the picture of consistency since entering the league as the No. 21 overall pick in 2009. He's never missed a start in 64 games. Mack graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 9 center in 2012, a year after checking in at the No. 10 spot. He's a candidate for a contract extension this offseason as he enters the final year of his deal.

Browns C Alex Mack (appendectomy) says his Week 6 availability will come down to a game-time decision.

The Raiders have flashed the ability to halt rushing attacks when they really gear up to stop them, and Cleveland's would almost certainly be less effective without its Pro Bowl center. Mack's backup is journeyman Steve Vallos.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

Browns C Alex Mack will undergo an appendectomy on Monday, and is without a return date.

Unwelcome news for a sputtering Cleveland rushing attack averaging just 85.8 yards and 3.4 yards per carry through its first four games. The Browns are on bye this week, however, so it's possible they'll have their Pro Bowl center back in time for their Week 6 tilt with the Raiders. His status should be updated next week.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

Browns C Alex Mack has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster as a replacement for Jets C Eric Mangold, who bowed out with a leg injury.

The Browns' 2009 first-rounder has already emerged as an elite center, helping to pave the way for Peyton Hillis' breakout season. Mack was more deserving of the Pro Bowl bid than Steelers rookie Maurkice Pouncey, who was elected but won't play.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

Rookie C Alex Mack has played every one of the Browns' 911 offensive snaps this season.

Mack struggled some at the beginning of the season but finished very strong, helping Jerome Harrison to rank second in the league in rushing in the final four weeks. The Browns' first-round pick in 2009, Mack will be a constant on the Browns' offensive line next to Eric Steinbach going forward.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

Rookie C Alex Mack has started every game for the Browns this season.

Mack looks like he was well worth the No. 21 overall pick in the draft. Although it's hard to see results on a team lacking talent like the Browns, Mack should help solidfy their offensive line for the foreseeable future.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

The Browns have reportedly chosen rookie Alex Mack over veteran Hank Fraley for the starting center job.

It took Mack all of preseason action to finally win the job, but his upside is good news for the offense. Don't expect the running game to noticeably improve with Jamal Lewis as the starter.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

First-round pick Alex Mack appeared to nail down the Browns' starting center job Saturday night.

The 21st selection took the vast majority of first-team snaps, replacing Hank Fraley. The Browns' running game still isn't hitting on all cylinders, but Mack has much more upside than Cleveland's incumbent starter.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

Browns signed first-round C Alex Mack, the No. 21 overall pick, to a five-year contract. The deal includes $12.2 million guaranteed.

Mack becomes the third first-round pick to sign after QBs Matt Stafford and Mark Sanchez. He's expected to unseat incumbent Hank Fraley and start at center for the Browns right out of the gate. He should immediately improve their offensive line. According to Profootballtalk.com, Mack received a 7.5 percent raise in guaranteed money over the 21st pick a year ago.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

First-round C Alex Mack is in Cleveland but some details have prevented a contract from being signed.

Mack flew from California to Cleveland on Friday, expecting to sign his first contract that day. But the two sides couldn't iron out the guaranteed money, so Mack spent the day in a hotel instead of at rookie orientation. The deal should get done soon as Mack is expected to start for the Browns in Week 1.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

The Browns are expected to have a deal in place with first-round C Alex Mack by Friday.

The sides talked "deep into the night" Thursday, and the deal is close to being finalized. Browns rookies are due to report by Friday. Unsigned second-rounders Brian Robiskie, Mohamed Massaquoi and David Veikune won't be in attendance.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

The Browns have had "little to no contact" in contract talks with top rookies Alex Mack, Brian Robiskie, Mohamed Massaquoi, and David Veikune.

Browns rookies are supposed to be in camp Friday -- before any team's -- but the club appears to be targeting July 31 to get its first- and second-round picks signed. That, of course, is assuming they don't want rookie holdouts.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

Browns rookie center Alex Mack is expected to start over Hank Fraley this season.

The Browns used the No. 21 overall pick on Mack, so he'll have high expectations right off the bat. If Mack adjusts quickly in training camp, Fraley's roster spot would be jeopardy.

Alex Mack - C - Browns

Browns selected California C Alex Mack with the No. 21 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

Mack was the only offensive lineman at the Senior Bowl who could keep B.J. Raji contained. Eric Mangini hopes he'll be as effective as Nick Mangold in New York. The Browns may now consider cutting incumbent Hank Fraley.
