The Browns Board

  • Very strange. I don't think paying Cribbs between $2m and $3m per year should be a problem. If he'd take that (which I've read he would), I'd give it to him.

  • 1.4 mil is what, a 150-200% increase in his current pay? i would kill to be able to get a raise based on that %.

  • Seems like his agent has a firm grip on his balls and Cribb's isn't doing anything about it.

    You also don't return the most kicks in the history of the NFL, or lead the special teams in tackles or start at WR or play RB. If you were asked to do the job you have right now and got paid what you started off making 5 years ago, you would not like it either.

    which is why i focused on the %, not the actual money.

    and i'm not saying he shouldn't get more money, but to be insulted by a 200% increase in pay is being a bit selfish. and hey, maybe he should get a bit more than 1.4-2, but thats far from an insulting raise imo

  • This looks like an insert to an article, rather than a sourcable direct quote.

    In other words, the reporter may have added the "take it or leave it" to provide spice to the article.

  • It's only such a big % raise because he had a nice signing bonus. His yearly salary on this current deal was (I thought) $1.1 or $1.3m. So it's a tiny raise by NFL standards.

  • i heard he was near the league minimum, somewhere around 650k a year

    No, that is the cap hit we take on him. He is making $640k a year. And deserves $2 million a year at least.

    Very good point.
