CLEVELAND -- The Browns are on the clock with Alex Mack. Clevelands Pro Bowl centre signed a five-year, $42 million contract offer sheet with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday. The Browns, who have received official paperwork on the deal, are expected to match it and keep one of their best players. The Browns have five days -- until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday -- to match Jacksonvilles offer or theyll lose Mack, who has not missed a single offensive play since the Browns drafted him in 2009. The club secured that right for the time to weigh the decision after placing a $10 million transition tag on the 28-year-old Mack before free agency opened. The deal includes $26 million guaranteed and would make Mack the NFLs highest-paid centre. The team entered free agency with re-signing Mack as one of its top priorities, and there doesnt seem any reason the Browns wouldnt lock him up for a few more years. Macks contract also has an option for him to void the deal after two seasons. Also, his team cant tag or trade him. Earlier this week, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said he was confident Mack would remain with Cleveland. "We remain optimistic that Alex Mack will be a Cleveland Brown for a long time," Haslam said at the premiere of "Draft Day," a fictional film about the Browns. "We want him to be. I think weve made it very clear that hes the kind of person, the kind of player we want in our organization." Mack has played 4,998 consecutive snaps with the Browns. In 2011, Mack played despite a severe attack of appendicitis that landed him in surgery the following day. He has developed into one of the games top centres, lauded for his blocking ability, leadership and helping Clevelands quarterbacks read defences. With Mack in the middle and Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas on the left side, the Browns have one of the AFCs top offensive lines. They dont want to weaken one of their only strengths. "Obviously, weve made it kind of evident how important Alex is to this team, and whether its talking with (Pro Bowl tackle) Joe (Thomas) or talking with some of the other players, were all just hoping it gets resolved soon and hes back," quarterback Brian Hoyer said. "Obviously we have a new system to learn and hes the anchor of that offensive line." It would be understandable if Mack wanted to test the free-agent waters. The Browns have gone just 23-57 since he joined them in 2009, and Mike Pettine will be Macks fourth head coach in six years Mack reportedly enjoyed his visit with the Jaguars, who like the Browns, have been stuck in a cycle of losing. But the teams offer to Mack is a strong sign of its intention to upgrade its roster and revamp one of the leagues worst offensive lines. The Jaguars selected left tackle Luke Joeckel with the second overall pick in last years draft and signed former Denver guard Zane Beadles in free agency last month.

So far, the rookie centre has been worth the investment.The Spitfires gave up six draft picks before the start of the season to pry Brown from the Niagara IceDogs, who drafted the 16-year-old from Chesterfield, Mo., sixth overall in the 2014 Ontario Hockey League priority selection draft.The trade was risky for Windsor, which had already had to give up some of its draft picks due to league sanctions for breaking the leagues recruitment and benefits rules.But the six-foot-five, 215-pound centre has turned out nicely for the Spitfires this season. Brown has 12 goals and 16 assists in 39 games and is tied for third among rookie scorers in the OHL this season. Brown also leads all OHL players born in 1998 in scoring.You can just see so much potential in Logan and imagine how good he is going to be when he is a finished product, Spitfires had coach and president Bob Boughner said. I think he is a cant miss National Hockey League player not only because of his size, but because of his skill level.Brown has been a bright spot for the Spitfires, who have languished at or near bottom of the Western Conference standings all season long and currently trail the Saginaw Spirit by four points for the eighth and final playoff spot.I dont think any of us thought wed be where we currently are in the standings before the start of the season, but weve definitely brought our collective game up a notch or two since the (holiday) break, Brown said.Theres always room for improvement, and I think that motivates us all.He is also quick to identify the strengths of his own game and his role in Windsor this season.I like to pass and utilize my wingers and I think I have good vision out there, Brown said. Everyone likes to score goals, but I like to contribute my helping my teammates score and helping stop the other team from scoring.Brownss efforts have not gone unnoticed by Boughner.ddddddddddddHes played heavy minutes for us up the middle at centre and for a 16-year-old to do that is difficult to do in this league at that age, Boughner said. Im very impressed with his play away from the puck and in his own end. He is a responsible player.Not many players are as good as he is in their own end. He is blessed with great hockey talent.Perhaps some of that talent has rubbed off from his father Jeff Brown, a defenceman who played in 747 NHL games over the course of 19 seasons. The elder Brown, who is in his first season as head coach of the Ottawa 67s, coached his son last season with the Indiana Ice Midget U16s.The adjustment from playing midget hockey in suburban St. Louis last season to the OHL this season is lessened due to Browns work ethic and focus.The speed of the game and the size of the players have been the biggest adjustments Ive had to make to playing this season, Brown said. In the OHL, a passing lane will open up quickly and then close just as fast and you have to act and react faster in order to make a good play.The players are also older and bigger and stronger here and the physical game has been more intense as well.Brown has Canadian and American citizenship but chose to play for Canada at the recent 2015 World Under 17 Hockey Challenge in Sarnia, Ontario.It was an unbelievable experience and a thrill to put on the Canadian jersey for the first time in an international tournament, Brown claims. It was great to learn the ways of Hockey Canada and hopefully Ill be able to represent Canada again.While Brown is still eligible to play internationally for the United States, he seems to have made his choice.Up here hockey is a religion and the World Junior Hockey Championships are a national holiday and I love that, Brown said. My dad is Canadian and I hope that Hockey Canada likes what they see in me. ' ' '
