<![CDATA[Cribbs Status]]>Haven't heard of Josh Cribbs status with the team lately. Rumor was he will not be back and that 5 teams were interested in him. Have always been a big fan of his, any idea where he will end up or his roster status at this time?...

Cribbs is one guy I'll always root for, but I'm glad we got rid of him at the right time.

I guess we have to ask this question: Did they cut him because he didn't give him what they wanted as a WR....or because he Special Teams skills were also diminished.

Based on last years performance...ok, not a force at WR...but he ST skills still seemed to be intact.

Has that changed?

Yes, he had off-season knee surgery and isn't the same.

Because....I gotta tell you guys, the Browns need something more on Special teams. While Benjamin seems to be it at the PR spot, the Browns NEED a kickoff returner. Bademosi seems good at STs....but not as the KR. (maybe the #2 KR) And I think they need a gunner on coverage.

Now, I am not saying that they should reacquire Cribbs...especially if he is diminished. But they need someone to give us what Cribbs gave us over the last couple of years.

By Ryan Wilson | CBSSports.com
August 25, 2013 2:44 pm ET
josh-cribbs-raiders-cut.jpgJosh Cribbs couldn't catch on with the Raiders. (USATSI)It's too bad Josh Cribbs can't play offensive line because he would have been guaranteed a spot on the Raiders' 53-man roster. Instead, the wide receiver and kick returner was released Sunday, according to multiple reports.

Cribbs signed a one-year deal in May, but lingering knee issues may have ultimately sealed his fate.

According to Yahoo.com's Brian McIntyre, Cribbs received $225,000 of a one-year, $1.25 million contract. He was due $865,000 in base salary in 2013, with $160,000 in per-game roster bonuses.

An undrafted free agent out of Kent St. who played eight seasons with the Browns, Cribbs never developed as a pass-catching threat, but he was one of the league's best return men. He led the league in return yards in 2007, and though he hadn't played to that level in several years, Cribbs was coming off a solid 2012 season.

He still would make a great addition to a team as a 5th/6th WR and a special teams guy. People always seem to forget how he made tackles on ST too. What I always enjoyed about him too is even though he may not bust one, he was great about getting upfield quickly. I hope Benjamin understands this too, getting 15 yards can help a team just as much as a return TD.

Seneca, Colt, Phil ... and "offensive consultant" Eric Mangini.

Cribbs should have been tried at Safety IMO. Hillis should have been made to be a fullback for Richardson and Colt should have gotten a chance. The Jury is still out on these for me... LoL

However, I like Benjamin, he's fast and agile, I just hope he's smart and doesn't take too big a hit. Hillis wouldn't cooperate. I would still rather have Colt backing up Weeden than Campbell.

I must admit that when situations such as what Mingo is dealing with I almost tacitly go with the 'here we go again; horrible (draft pick, trade, FA sign, coaching hire...pick any one) and we are doomed; however, your point brings home that some good decisions are being and have been made

Speaking of objectivity - my first season following football was last season, and it seemed like Benjamin generally got more ground on returns (and the various trick plays like reverses) than cribbs managed. The only caveat to that would be that when cribbs brought it out he tended to make the right decision, something that Benjamin may struggle with (or not).

Making the right decisions comes with experience. Benjamin will do better this year compared to last year. Already in the preseason he has returned two punts for TDS (one was called back for a penalty that had no impact on the play).

Sentimentality aside, it was time for a change. Hell, the 49ers unloaded Joe Freaking Montana.Travis Benjamin has proved he was the better (and cheaper option). For those who objectively watched it was obvious Cribbs had lost at least a step or two last year. I'd bet Benjamin would beat Josh by 10 yards in a 100 yard dash now.
