@brownindian said:How is 1.4 an insulting offer ? Most of the well paid Kick returners also have a big role as WR or RB with their teams. Cribbs @ WR and RB has not succeed continuously for us. So why should he be paid top billing ?
That's a little unfair if you ask me. Nobody has been continously succeeding in Cleveland, not Edwards, Winslow, the coaches, the QB's especially. When you cannot get the ball into your playmakers hands regularly, and don't have the building blocks for success, then nobody can succeed.
Cribbs has 6.9 yards per carry on 55 carries in 2009. In the last 3 years he leads the league in combined yardage, over guys like A Peterson, D Sproiles and T Ginn. To say he cannot be a WR is a little premature when you have guys who cannot play QB.
Most of the KR's that are ranked below Cribbs make $3-5M a year. For what this kid does I don't think $2.3 - $2.7 is too much to ask. The more opportunities you give him the more he will produce on offense.
Like Jerome Harrison, if you give him the chance he will repay you.
