CLEVELAND, Ohio --The agent for Josh Cribbs said today that he's having "very positive exchanges'' with the Browns regarding Cribbs' contract extension, but that he had no timetable for when a deal might be done.
"This is the most positive dialogue we've had since we've been doing this over the past three years with the Browns,'' said agent J.R. Rickert. "We're exchanging numbers and there's no telling what the timetable will be, but when we can bridge all of the existing gaps, we'll have this done.''
Rickert said he didn't think any of "the gaps are insurmountable'' and that he and Cribbs are very optimistic that a deal will get done. Cribbs, who's under contract through 2012, has said he thought a deal could be in place by the NFL Combine on Feb. 24, but Rickert declined to put a date on it.
Rickert said he's working closely with Browns general manager Tom Heckert and new vice president of football operations Matt Thomas on the deal and "it's the most professional dialogue'' he's had with the Browns.

Nice to hear that the word professional is still known around the Browns' upper management.
And glad to hear that Cribbs is going to be in Cleveland for awhile.

yes, it's great to see what mh has done so far in his short time here. we can only hope that this is a sign of more good things to come for our browns.

cribbs was on rizzo's show this morning and he said he thinks the contract will be done around the same time as the nfl combine (feb.24th-mar.2).

What he did was very rude and bitch like jumping holmgrens shit before he can set his briefcase down. And MH even offered to double his salary. Double it
If a new Boss offered me double what i make now he'd be my new best friend

Derek Anderson is making 7 times what Cribbs makes next season.

I went to a restaurant before the Cavs vs Magic game last thursday and Cribbs was there. He was doing a promotional deal for his charity "my hood". They served "pay the man ale" and all proceeds went towards his charity. He got on stage and said a few words then signed autographs. He said at least 5 times Cleveland has the greatest fans in the NFL and that is 99% of the reason he wants to stay here and play for this city. He seemed very genuine too...good guy, good cause. Pay the man!
Regretfully I couldn't get his autograph or else I was going to be late for the game (which was amazing, btw) MVP! MVP!

Cleveland Browns' Josh Cribbs could have new deal by end of next week

Tracy Boulian, The PDJosh Cribbs could have a new deal in place by the end of next week. CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns receiver Joshua Cribbs could have a new deal by the end of next week, a league source said today.
The Browns and Cribbs' representatives have essentially agreed to a restructuring of his remaining three years instead of the extension that Cribbs' camp was originally seeking.
But there's still a possibility the Browns will agree to a club option for a fourth and or fifth year.
Although the two sides have pretty much agreed on the length, they're still not close on a number of key issues, including guaranteed money and escalators.
Cribbs is seeking about $10 million guaranteed, while the Browns are offering about $5 million in "likely'' guaranteed money. The escalators are tied to performance, such as number of catches, yards, touchdowns and Pro Bowls.
Cribbs, a two-time Pro Bowler, is currently under contract through 2012 at a little more than $1 million a year. He's seeking closer to $4 million to $5 million a season. The Browns have also said they'd like to increase his role on offense in 2010.
Looks like a deal is imminent. Not an extension but a restructured remaining 3 years.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The agents for receiver Josh Cribbs will meet with the Browns in Indianapolis beginning Thursday night in hopes of hammering out the new deal by the end of the week, a league source said.
The two sides have moved closer on a number of key issues and are optimistic the gap can closed as early as Sunday, the source said.
The parties have agreed to restructure the remaining three years of Cribbs' deal instead of extending it, although a club option for a fourth or fifth year has been on the table.
Cribbs has been seeking $10 million guaranteed, twice as much as the Browns proposed. The two sides will also try to bridge the gap on the performance incentives in the deal. Last week, a source said it could be done by the end of this week, and it appears they're still on pace for that

I love Cribbs as much as the next guy but am I the only one who thinks that 4 - 5 million dollars a year is to much to pay for a guy who hasn't yet proven that he can do anything except return kicks and run the WildDawg? I also thought Devin Hester got way to much money.

I agree, and why he needs a expanded role.
I think it is safe to say receiver really isn't his calling.
The guy is more a running back and qb....get a viable package installed that makes him a true dual threat QB....get some run option pass plays involved. You can't always run him even though it works because you even up the blocking...
Get a 30 play package and see what happens.

I hope Cribbs retires as a Brown and I fully agree with you.
However I'm willing to bet that his contract will be incentive laden and he'll have to produce in order to get the full amount of $ he is asking for.

OK, he doesn't just return kicks ... he is the best kick returner in NFL History.Best Ever.
381 yards and 6.9 per carry out of the WildDawg last year ... which was very effective in our four game win stretch.
And he's also a Pro Bowl kick coverage guy.
He's the star of the punt return team, the kick return team, the kick coverage team, the punt coverage team and one of our true offensive weapons as a WildDawg.
Eric Steinbach, Derek Anderson, Jamal Lewis and Corey Williams all made more than $4million last year, I venture to say Cribbs is more valuable than any of them.
Zombo
Good old Zombo! Lol. Good post. Thank you for calling that to our attention. But we also have players that are as valuable or more valuable who made less then $4 million, Jerome Harrison, Alex Mack, Wimbley, Joe Thomas, Phil Dawson, Dave, Zastudil, etc......

Alex Mack is a rookie, and got a rookie Center salary.
Kam Wimbley has been mostly a non-factor, so he doesn't deserve to earn $4 million.
I can agree about Joe Thomas, he should get a larger contract.
Jerome Harrison wasn't valuable at all until this year. His contract will change.
And you're really mentioning both Philly D and Dave Zastudil when they proved they could easily be replaced this year? Just so everyone knows- I was, and am still, on the Billy Cundiff train. He's a fantastic kicker. Sad he went to the Ratbirds. And Reggie Hodges proved that Zastudil is expendable.
