Colts sign Cribbs

They'll probably sign Ben Tate too since Bradshaw broke his leg. Please explain why they waived him instead of getting something like when we absolutely burned the Colts for Richardson.

2 words: Trade deadline.

i'm pretty happy to see Cribbs back in the NFL and I can't wait to see if he does anything with the Colts.

Trade deadline passed, best for them to cut ties if he's a problem in the locker room and in practice.

Also, I don't know if the colts will ever trade us for another RB again

He sure deserves the chance. I hope he does well. A great guy and one of my all time favorite players.

But Ill admit Im one who's said he was done and was against signing him. So, for his sake I hope he does well, but not too well

Thanks

So the Steelers cut Lagarrett Blount because he wanted the ball too. He was definitely a cancer. Think about him and Le'Veon Bell driving to Philly and being stopped for Pot. I wonder what took the Steelers so long to figure it out. As for Tate, he will be in the backfield and take over the number one role from Trent Richardson. Since Richardson sucks, Tate will take over and end up playing the Browns. How's that for Karma

But it would have been too funny if they did it again!

️They definitely need a running back and Tate will be it.

Stupid move. A once good player now injured and useless.

Thats assuming the 25 teams ahead of them take a pass. And I highly doubt that happens.

Raiders, Vikings, Giants, Steelers(plus 20 other teams) are all well ahead of Indy. Someone will tab him first.

Yikes.. we have to face Cribbs?

That makes me nervous.. dude was never good because of his athletic ability.. He was god because he had great vision, ran hard, and broke tackles

The Browns should have signed Cribbs to return and gun. He coming back to Cleveland would have Jolted the Fanbase to the magnitude of Lebron coming back. He's that special in Cleveland.

So people can never come back from an injury?Your post is useless. Lets just keep on with our 2 yards a return and "fair catching.". i hope he runs one back on us.. I would cheer.

This. I really don't understand not bringing him back for what is likely league min.

Cribbs is used up. Next.

Little harsh for the guy who brought almost all excitement the browns had for since their return.

The guy was a great player, role model, and seemed a genuine person. I wish the best for him.

And he averaged 12 yards per punt return for the Jets last year, no fumbles, one fair catch. surely he is still better that what we have back there ... but I understand not getting rid of a young kid for him at this stage.

Greatest special team player in the 58 year history of the Browns. Good luck to ya, Josh.

Well only if he comes back and plays at a high level. Come on G imagine him coming back eating up a roster spot and doing no better or even worse then the return guy we have now.
