    The funny thing is....yes he will be returning. Why? Well, he is STILL UNDER CONTRACT!! Dont get me wrong he deserves a raise but not top WR or RB money.

    Agreed. Josh, get over it. You (maybe your agent) screwed up. You agreed to something, now man up and live up to your contract.

    Does he deserve more? Probably. But don't make the Browns look like the bad guys. He agreed to a freakin' contract, now honor it.

  • considering how busy mh is, this agent is a fool to try and force this at the current time, and expect immediate response. we essentially don't have a faculty atm, there is no one to work on his contract, let alone come to a deal on it. it seem's to me that josh's biggest problem is that he has a horrible agent working for him.

  • Again the result of a dysfunctional organization. This should have been taken care of already and now that the season is completed and he is the greatest kick returner of all time of course his agent is going to go all guns blazing. He could have been reworked a lot sooner for realistic money but the Browns had their organizational heads up their asses and now the guy wants to break the bank. He and his agent are looking at it as they have waited long enough.

    If teams kick away from him he is still serving his purpose cuz they will still have great field position. He will also be an even bigger part of the offense next year, perhaps as a straight up RB. Now it's going to be negotiating hell with a bunch of lawyers serving their best interests and grandstanding. Stupid.......

    Agree. He has been a very good ST player and more....BUT, what if every other "very good"player on the Browns tried the same thing? It does not set a very good precedence for the other players if they do give Josh a new contract. Thomas......thinking, Hey I am one heck of a good LT....I want a new contract too!!! Just don't see how a team can do this without causing other possible player problems. JMHO

  • I think they should create a new rule requiring players, agents, and teams to keep they're salaries private. If nobody knows who's making what then there would be no comparison.

  • The first thing I thought when I read this was "Oh Sh*t"

    This is going to be a huge mess in the off-season if this doesnt get resolved RIGHT NOW.

    I have so many connections...I wish I knew Holmgren.

  • its not a problem at all

    he has 3 options IMO

    A) takes what the browns offer him, shutup and play

    B ) just keeps the contract he has, shuts up and plays

    C) never plays another down in the NFL for 4 years by sitting or holding out since he didnt get a new contract and not getting traded or released

    I am pretty sure if Cribbs requested a trade, the Browns would trade him just like the Broncos traded Jay Cutler. So his options dramatically change. Teams are going to pay more than what we have offered him.

    I hope Lerner sees what is happening. We have plenty of money to PAY THE MAN.

    nope they wouldnt

    the Cutler and Cribbs parts arent even comparable

    Cutler plays a position of interest at QB that controls the whole game

    Cribbs doesnt do anything well exept run and he has a at best 3rd round value which isnt worth trading

    no need to pay him more then he has gotten offered he doesnt deserve it

    maybe if he does something on offense or D that stands out then he should get paid

    untill then absolutley not

  • This....is....garbage.

  • With the angent saying other teams have said they will pay x to x amount doesn't that constitute tampering. The fact that other teams have told them that they would pay more than what we would, for a player that is under contract until 4 years from now.

    Like Granny always said- "If you can't be good...Be good at It."

  • Should I wait for OTA's, the draft, another season to prove my worth?... and

    Ok, enough of all that, I just hate being taken advantage of... Wooossaaaahh.. What else is new?

  • Quick question, who is the highest paid kick returner in the NFL? Does JC's contract compare for the better or worse. If its for the worse than its a damn shame. He signed the contract a few years back and he should honor till its over, but if you were in his shoes now and you were out performing the other guys at your work that make more than you, don't you think you deserve more. If we pay him chump change in a deal then can He say, shit no i am not going to run the wild cat or play wr, I' m getting paid just to return that there ball from my side to that there other side. This stuff should have been a done deal already. I am however super excited to see who will return kicks for us next year if Josh is traded or holds out. The man gives field position and "excitment" which gives the Browns great moral.

    The problem for the Browns is Devin Hester set the ceiling for KRs- and it's mighty high. Like $5 million a year high. It isn't Josh's fault the Bears paid Hester stupid money. Couple other KRs in the $2 million+ range. Pay the JC $2.5 a mill year with say a $10 million signing bonus.

    ❤

  • I think the Browns are playing this smart, some what. Look at Devin Hester...he had a few good years then BAM! no more Hester. This is true in most cases of kick returners...When they first come into the league they excel, but after a few years the quickness fades and they lose that step needed to go all the way.

    There are a few exceptions, like Brian Mitchell, but he was never as good as Josh Cribbs....but had a great career as a KR.

    However, Cribbs does deserve 2-4 million for at least 2 years. Good Luck
