  • Can't say i am in any "camp", but if we decide to trade Cribbs, I wouldn't be against the move.

    IMO Joe Thomas is about the only untouchable on this club.

    I don't want to trade cribbs, but if it brought a player who in the long run is going to do more to help us reach our goals, go for it.

  • so you guys seriously think he is worth a 2nd or 3rd rounder.......a brian robiskie.

    ic rogers and cribbs going somewhere for a quarterback.

  • punt & kick returners have a short shelf life. giving cribbs a new contract is not in the browns best interest, in my opinion. I think we should trade him now while the market is prime for him. if we could get a high draft pick for him (a 2nd+ or even a 1st rounder), I think we should let him go.

    great guy, entertaining, explosive, good ... tradable.

    good thinking his value will never get higher and his performance will start to decline very soon................trade him now..............if we can get a 3rd or second rounder

    Like I said, I'm glad you're not running this outfit.

  • for the right price everyone is tradable question is what is the right price! although I don't want Cribbs going anywhere!!!

    Again, I don't want him to go, but the chances are pretty good he will.

    It all adds up...

    *he has a pretty high value right now

    *he wants a new contract

    Sometimes those two things are all it takes to start listening to offers.

    As someone said, he could be a part of what is required to trade for a decent QB.

    Cribbs, Williams, and a 4th rounder might get Kolb out of Philly.

    Bet you a beer he stays.

    Plus, Philly ain't trading the QB of tomorrow for a return guy.

    ********************************************

    RICH ! You're back ! Cool !

    And I think you're wrong !

    Cribbs is the kind of player, that if you DO pay him 3 mill a year, he's going to still

    play exactly like he always has played. It's who he is. Pay him a bit more than any other kr,

    and he should be good.

    But, if he has burnt his bridges, and gets traded, a third round pick would be undercutting the Browns in a huge way.

    If Mr. Cribbs really wants to leave, or really insists on being the most highly paid player in the NFL ? Well,

    about the least I'd trade for him, is for a swap of our second round pick back up into the lower part of round one.

    And a good RT. And a third round pick, too.

    And a 22" pepperroni pizza, with mushrooms and anchovies and a case of Frostie Root beer.

    That's what I think of the idea to trade Cribbs. @@

  • Oh, yeah, and another thing:

    The Browns won't trade Cribbs, because that's what the Indians do.

    They bring along a player in their system, he turns out to be an allstar pitcher, then they trade him

    so they don't have to pay him big bucks, and only have to pay small salaries to a couple of "prospects".

    I don't see it.

    But Cribbs needs to know, even though business is business, that it's hard for the Browns to just rewrite his contract,

    in a big way, and not have a bunch of other players demand the same thing.

    I just figure that a reasonable re-doing of his contract would be understood by the rest of the team.

  • I like the fan support that Cribbs is receivng , but whats with the untradeable obsession ?

    Teams are generally built around solid regular pieces - QB's , RB's, Linesmen, WR's but since was a team built around a kick return specialist ?

    The Browns offer to Cribbs was reasonable considering the fact that Cribbs:

    >> Was not so effective in WR's and was not a frequent RB

    >> The wild cat plays did not always meet with success

    >> He still has 3 years left in his contract

    It makes more sense if his contract was getting closer to its end date, but renew so early ?

    If an apple that costs 50 cents is really tasty, the shopkeeper might sell it for a dollar, but if he charges 5 dollars would you be buying it ?

    Sure, why not....I would probably buy you a beer anyway, so we will make it two.

    If it is at a tailgate, give me the heads up as I usually don't bring much beer....more a liquor drinker myself, so if that is a suitable substitute , I'll pour you a few drinks of whatever it is I am making that day.

  • I like that Lawson kid so I wouldnt mind the idea of trading cribbs...if the price was right, very, very right. If we could package Cribbs, someone else and a pick to Philly for KK I'd be down. A franchise QB is much more important than someone in Cribb's role. Just my opinion.

  • bird in the hand is worth two in the bush>>screw the draft pick lottery theory. why gamble and create a hole in the team when you have the NFL all pro doing it for you? ...maybe best all time.

    but i'd listen to anything. 😎

    Here's an idea.

    Lets just go get shithammered somewhere no matter what he does!!

    You in SC?

    Any micro brews down there?

    There's a Flying Saucers in Charlston....

    No, Tennessee. and yes, Big River Brewery started here and they have a few fine selections.

    Pat and I are seriously planning a night at Put-in-Bay this summer...I'll catch you there...assuming you are still leading the Lake Erie Booze Patrol....we want to do that and hit a little restaurant in Vermillion...Chez Francois...it looked like it could be a pretty good spot. We just kind of stumbled upon it looking around when we made a day trip to the Island this past Oct. for the wine festival.

    I've been known to get shithammered, though it takes a while. Practice builds up endurance...I think you know something about that. πŸ˜‰

  • cribbs won 2 games this year by himself and you guys want to trade him for a brian robiskie

  • hell, i wouldn't mind seein rogers on the block as well....
