Another offer to Cribbs coming: Holmgren disputed the characterization of the club's $1.4 million-a-year offer to Josh Cribbs as "take it or leave it" and indicated the team will continue to negotiate an improvement to his existing deal.

"That 'take it or leave it' stuff, I think that went out a long time ago," Holmgren said. "I'm not sure you ever say that. The one thing that I think you have to try and avoid is negotiating against yourself.

"My hope is that we can get this to a win-win situation. Yes, I think there's a chance [of another offer]. There's light at the end of the tunnel, hopefully."

Thank god for that, I had "Cribbs to the Crib" tattooed across my forehead after Ballpeen's moonshine last year. I want to see Josh in Brown again next season, there are far worse sins than paying that man - he is not a disingenuous person and played hard for us despite being semi shafted last year.

Didn't hear him on Mike & Mike, but caught his whole interview on Scott Van Pelt. The short of it is Cribbs wants to come back- just not at $1.4 million.

Cribbs knows he ain't getting Devin Hester money. I'd hazard mid $2 million should get it done.
