On the Browns picking up his fifth-year option and what it would mean to him if they are able to come to agreement on a long-term extension this offseason:
“First and foremost, that is one of those things that is not in my control, but I am truly thankful and grateful for them taking a chance – (Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager) Andrew (Berry) and the Haslam Family – for picking up that fifth-year option, making it one more year in Cleveland and extending this journey that we started three years ago today. Just saw something on that so I have been kind of thinking about that all day. I am very happy about that. In terms of long-term deals or all of that, I am taking it one day at a time. Still have two years, two seasons left on this full rookie contract now to see what happens.”
To go or not to go
It seems like the never-ending discussion around whether Memphis, Light, Gas and Water which if it were a football player could be likened a free agent Tom Brady will leave the Tennessee Valley Authority.
To catch you up: After months of talk about the possibility of MLGW leaving TVA, J.T. Young, chief executive of MLGW, announced a couple of weeks ago he wanted to suspend those discussions and renegotiate the contract with TVA.
That sentence violates my rule against using acronyms and if you must, never use more than one in any paragraph. But I digress.
