They won’t extend him; Tee is gone & Chase extension is iffy. The Browns ALWAYS have to go out of their way to show the players(equipment) who’s the boss.
This equipment may just not lace up and threaten to retire. He's made a lot of money and it's harder to rebuild a full starting DL (without BJ, Henrickson is the only starter to pen in). Regardless of their opinion of him, it's harder to replace even half his production as the offseason drags on and he sits.
