Josh Cribbs cleans out locker, feels like "it's over.''

xxxx off Josh Cribbs. If that's the way you feel, then I honestly do not want you in Cleveland. You are a kick returner, and a damn good one. That's about it.
-
They told me to be the good soldier and prove it on the field and I did that. I can't be told to wait again. I just don't see it happening now.''
Mangini did tell him this at the start of the season. Long story short Josh shut his mouth, ante'd up and played hard nosed football. Now that Mangini is back I think he'll have some pull on this decision.
There is worse players and worse mistakes to be made then giving a talent like Josh Cribbs 2.5 mill. That salary number certainly isn't a hinderance.
You'll get yours Mr. Cribbs, let the dust settle in the front office first.

this isnt a story
every player cleans out his locker
every player says goodbye to the med staff after the year since they change every year or 2
same with Equipment guys
Cribbs said the Browns' $1.4 million a year offer feels "like I've been betrayed and stabbed in the back. I'm not just insulted by the number, but by the fact they consider me just a kick returner. I'm so much more than that.''
Cribbs said based on the "take it or leave it offer'' he's not at all optimistic about being back and that he'll most likely demand a trade in the near future.
"There's no way I'll play another down for the Browns without the new contract,'' he said. "They won't let me sit, because I have value. They'd be forced to trade me.''
also this part just shows how much of a jackass he really is
he is just a KR he had 20 catches for 185 yards and 1 TD and had 350 Rush yards for 1 TD
Derek Anderson had more Rushing TDs does that mean we should consider him more then a QB?
lawrence Vickers had 1 reciving TD does that mean we should consider him more then a FB?
he has done nothing in his career ever outside of being a KR

Look, Cribbs is good, but screw him. He has a contract. He signed it. End of deal. If he wants to sit at home and not get paid, so be it.

Friend of mine in the real estate says that Josh Cribbs just sold his house in Strongsville.
What we're seeing here in 2010 is precisely what happened in NE a decade ago. It worked for them then, and it wiill work for us now. Why? Because it's the only way it's ever worked in pro football. Just ask Paul Brown. Or Vince Lombardi. Or Tom Landry. .02, Clemdawg -

I love Cribbs, but I cannot take this seriously. Hopefully it all gets worked out, but who is he kidding ?

Cribbs getting near what he's chasing would'nt bother me one bit. Agreed he has to comply with his contract term, but I really believe his f%$king agent is filling his head with Kordell Stewart syndrome like contract hopes (prior to QB Kordell - when he was slash). Cribbs needs to hang around, build his talents elsewhere on the field and then his numbers will rise. As this program rises, his popularity will too and he can then, in another year, maybe 2 chase his own value. I sincerely hope Mangini steps in on his behalf with Holmgren and is able to somewhat satisfy Cribbs' wants. We need this guy back for the latest Browns team.
Guys dumping on Cribbs sucks. This team sucked A$$ for the first 3/4 of the seaon and the ONLY positive we could talk to anyone about was Josh Cribbs. He kept hope alive and deserves the respect he's earned in doing so !

Geezus, Cribbs should just stop with the whiny Twitter messages and announcements about cleaning out his locker. In fact, just STFU completely and let your agent deal with it. If his agents are telling him to go public they are seriously misreading the situation. The Browns aren't going to suddenly fold their hand because of a couple newspaper articles, in fact they are likely to harden their position against these agents portraying them as liars in the press. Who really has the leverage here? It isn't Cribbs, he is under contract for the next three and if he doesn't report to camp they don't HAVE to trade him and he sure as hell can't play anywhere else other than the CFL and they aren't going to meet his salary demands either! While many of us fans think Cribbs should get a better deal, they aren't going to head down to Berea and set up a picket line for a guy crying about how 1.4 MILLION dollars a year is an insult. You signed that deal Josh and they gave you a sweet signing bonus. The Browns don't HAVE to renegotiate anything so stop crying to the press and tell your agents to negotiate quietly and something will probably get done.

I think Holmgren is busy doing Czar stuff right now, and is trying to get people in place to give Cribbs his contract, and his mouthy agents want to stir up trouble just as he got off the plane. Holmgren probably lowballed him just to piss off his mouthy agents. Cribbs will get a contract, and Holmgren will not overpay, and it will be fair.
Holmgren does not want to pull a Kosar/Belichick thing with the fans right from the start, unless Cribbs gets us a 1st round draft pick.
