Dolphins showing interest in Browns’ Cribbs
By Carlos "Big C" Holmes | Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 09:34 PM
Miami’s “WildDawg” formation might be about to get a little bit wilder.
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the Dolphins are showing interest in trading for Cleveland Browns receiver/kick returner Joshua Cribbs.
The NFL trade deadline is Oct. 20 and Cribbs’ representatives have been seeking a new deal for their client since the offseason.
I’m told that negotiations on a new contract for Cribbs are at a stalemate and not to rule out a trade. It was not made clear whether or not the Browns would entertain offers for Cribbs, so a call was placed to Browns headquarters but GM George Kokinis was unavailable for comment.
Cribbs has three years remaining on a six-year, $6.7 million contract he signed in 2006, but is vastly undervalued with the current deal. The former Pro Bowler is scheduled to make $720,000 this season and $735,000, $750,000, $890,000 over the next three years.
In my opinion, the Browns are getting Cribbs on the cheap when you compare those numbers to his performance.
Cribbs brings a lot to the table, both on and off the field, and the Browns could do a lot worse with their money. With the trade deadline looming, it will be interesting to see if talks heat up. If not, this may give representatives for Cribbs leverage to demand a trade if the organization fails to negotiate.
Can things get any worse in Cleveland?

Cheap seems to be the law of the mankok regime..and if cribbs hasnt proven he is worth much more than he is getting paid to mangini yet...he isnt going too..i consider cribbs a staple and the only true star that this team has..daboll doesnt use him enough due to a lack of football knowledge and creativity in this clubs offensive sets and at miami he would be used in the WildDawg scheme a whole bunch...it would make a lot of sense for miami to pursue him and unfortunately it would make a lot of sense for cribbs to be interested..
Man we cant afford to lose him...
Thanks peen!

No problem.
Seeing as we don't use the guy for much other than kicks, and Miami would, I think we may trade him.
It won't be popular, but if this is the boat we are on, then a trade might be our best move.
I would think Cribbs would bring considerable value to the Fins. They may really want to go spread/option type football, and Cribbs would be a great addition...that said, I would seek qb level compensation....2 fairly high...like 2nd this year and a potential 1st the following based on his accumulated numbers over the rest of this season and next.
-
regardless of the Browns reasonings; I watched the Monday Night football game and it seemed as though Miami already has a few too many WildDawg players that they can't even get into the game. They spent a first round draft pick on a P/K returner in Ted Ginn Jr.
I can't believe this would be the team to deal Cribbs too, unless the Browns were getting a WR or RB out of the deal in a sign and trade. I think someone watch the same game i did and thought of the idea of using Cribbs in that set and here we are today caught up in yet another trade rumor. Geez, the Brady Quinn thing hasn't even gotten cold yet.
-
no way this deal gets done. it would be terrible for many reasons: the first being that we would be getting rid of the only player who can get us into scoring position. the second being that he is the leader of the team on and off the field. the third, and the biggest, reason being that he is by far the fan's favorite and mankok knows that if they get rid of him they won't sell out a game for two seasons. he stays put and hopefully gets a better contract this offseason. i can't think of anyone who deserves it more.

'Peen, you been sippin' this morning??
"God is great. Beer is good. People are crazy." -
OH HELL NO!!!!!!!

'Peen, you been sippin' this morning??
LOL.....no, never before 4pm during the week unless it is a after round beer or 2 when I play a early round of golf.
I know it seems high, but i have to take a look at what they may gain. Cribbs was a qb. If that is their intent, my intent is to get compensated.
Really...a 2nd would be about it, but hey, might as well try.

I really don't know if I could keep rooting for this team if they traded cribbs... Its already getting hard to even care.

Horrible idea.
Flies right in the face of that whole "gives us the best chance to win" line Manginer has been coughing up.
Cribbs didn't prove to be a successful WR in this system (20 second timeout: do we have someone in the skilled positions that could considered 'a success'? No.)
So for a return guy, Cribbs is making bank. As for the value he brings to the Browns, he's getting seriously ripped off. Like, Ponzi scheme status.
-
if cribbs is traded I will have completly lost all faith in this organization. Hes the one "playmaker" on this team. the field position he provides for our pathetic offense is the only hope they have at scoring. Plus I just got the wife an authentic Cribbs jersey for her Bday. That will be 3 in a row. mother effer.
-
I do not buy it guys...
Cribbs is a playmaker..and while he was a bit bitchy in the offseason has shut up and done his job thus far..i expect he will get rewarded based on this season...he is doing more than ever...and hes back to gunning on special teams as well...would be a sad day if they traded him...unless of course the trade was too good to be true..like a 1st and a player or 2...and i mean like a good player or 2..haha...
Packers fans keep stirring up that we are trading Joe Thomas to them as well...good luck with THAT!
If they traded JT poop will hit the ceiling fan...and sling all over the room.

Who was the kid we had returning punts in the preseason? He looked pretty good as a Cribbs replacement. Is he still on the roster?
I think when Cribbs didn't make it as a receiver that it blew up any contract talks. Teams knocking on the door may spend big bucks for a P/K returner to get them to the promise land. Do we really need to have our best player be a P/K returner though? Seems kind of like bragging that at the entrepreneur convention that your compact car gets great gas mileage.

The Dolphins just drafted Pat White in the SECOND ROUND - 44th overall.
They aren't trading for Cribbs...

Can you seriously imagine a 2nd round pick adding as much value to this team as Cribbs?
I think the odds of that are not in our favor.
Imagine if we'd done this deal in the offseason: we would have traded Cribbs for Robiske.
Cough up the big money, and sign Cribbs to a long term deal. This isn't the same as dealing Winslow, Edwards, or even Quinn.
