coach Mike McCarthy and the Cleveland Browns organization have made sense ever since the Packers fired McCarthy after their week 13 loss. Now reports indicate that the Browns are indeed making a serious effort to bring McCarthy in http://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Darnell-Savage-Jr.-Jersey , at the very least to interview for their vacant head coaching position.There are plenty of reasons to make a logical connection between the two parties. John Dorsey, a former Packers executive, is the Browns’ general manager. Eliot Wolf, another former Packers executive, is his right-hand man. Alonzo Highsmith, yet another former Packers personnel man, holds a prominent role in Cleveland’s scouting department.Adding in a talented young quarterback in Baker Mayfield and it’s easy to see why McCarthy would be interested in the job. Now we have the first firm report that the Browns have contacted McCarthy about the possibility of coaching the team in 2019, as reported by the Toronto Sun’s John Kryk.Cleveland is interviewing a wide list of individuals, and likely will submit requests to speak with some of the same people that the Packers hope to interview to replace McCarthy. One name that both teams have reportedly asked to interview is Dan Campbell Rashan Gary Jersey , the New Orleans Saints tight ends coach. Expect Josh McDaniels to receive a request from the Browns as well.Still, at least one individual thinks the McCarthy-to-the-Browns possibility is already a done deal:Bob McManaman is a beat writer for the Arizona Cardinals, who reportedly made overtures to McCarthy recently. The Cardinals offered him complete personnel control, as reported by CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora on Sunday, but McCarthy reportedly turned that offer down. La Canfora further reported that McCarthy plans to sit out 2019, though that could change if given the right opportunity.It’s too early to trust reporting about a deal being in place between McCarthy and the Browns, but all the connections make sense, and Dorsey has apparently made the necessary first move to make it happen. Browns receiver Odell Beckham has vowed that 2020 will be the best year of his life. And so the next question becomes whether he’ll be playing for the Browns during the best year of his life.It’s not a stretch to think that Beckham or the Browns or both will decide to move on after a year. If Beckham decides to utilize some of the power that NFL players have acquired in recent years, he could end up talking or tweeting his way out of Cleveland Vince Biegel Color Rush Jersey , regardless of whether the Browns want him to go.The folks at SportsLine.com recently published odds regarding OBJ’s team as of the first week of next season. The Browns are the overwhelming favorite at -500 (bet $500 to win $100). Next are the Patriots at +400 (bet $100 to win $400), the Packers at +600, the 49ers at +750, the Vikings at +800, the Bills at +900, the Raiders at +1000, and the Jets at +1200.Beckham has made clear his past interest in playing for the Patriots; if Brady sticks around, that would be an intriguing potential move. The 49ers are more viable than the odds would indicate. They had been linked to Beckham late last year, and they made a play for him once he became available with the Giants. As to the rest https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Antonio-Morrison-Jersey , the most compelling potential destination would be the Jets, since it would bring him back to New York, where his career began and where he had his biggest game as a Brown, in Week Two against the Jets.It’s also important to keep an eye on the Los Angeles teams. The Rams are always looking to make a big splash, and Brandin Cooks‘ concussion issues could make them think about making a move. And the Chargers need to realize that it’s critical to combine substance and style in order to resonate in L.A. Beckham would go a long way toward properly christening that new stadium.Contractually, it would be easy for Cleveland to move on. The deal currently has $2.75 million in guaranteed salary for 2020. Another $11.25 million in base salary becomes fully guaranteed on March 20.But that money inevitably will be paid by whoever employs Beckham in September; although the Browns would carry the $14 million in cap charges until a trade happens, the $14 million in cash and cap obligations would disappear instantly, if he’s traded.One practical impediment to a trade could be an effort by Beckham to get a new contract. He reportedly was miffed that Antonio Brown finagled a trade and a new contract earlier this year. If Beckham will initiate a power play as to where he next plays, he should take it a step farther and make a power play as to how much he gets paid.Ultimately Quinten Rollins Jersey , it all may come down to whether Beckham believes 2020 will be his best year only if he finds another new team, whether the Browns will accommodate him with a private request to be traded, and if not whether Beckham will take his case for a new area code public.Those questions will be influenced in large part by what happens over the balance of the 2019 season. If the Browns win more games and Beckham gets more involved in the offense, maybe he’ll want to stay.
