The Browns have offered Josh Cribbs an "insulting'' $1.4 million a year and his agents are warning that he'll leave the team for good if they don't pay him what he deserves.
"Not only is it nowhere near what Josh is worth, it's not even what the top 10 kick returners in the league make,'' said Schaffer. He said other teams told him the starting point for the Browns would probably be $2.8 million to $3.2 million.

Holmgren definitely doesn't want to lose him.

The proposal was for $1.4 million a year, not much more than what Cribbs is making now and well below that of other top kick returners in NFL. Four days later, they pulled the offer, saying Browns owner Randy Lerner wanted to wait until the new president was hired.

After Holmgren was named as president, Aponte called Schaffer and Rickert back and said, "Here's what Mike and I are thinking: $1.4 million a year.''

it won't happen... most of our offseason is gonna be spent on keeping players. But our special teams SUCKED this year. It was absolutely miserable especially in the return game. After the crappy play of Jake, ST hurt us the most. I wish we'd address it, but the most I can hope for is another 4th round draft pick being wasted on another punt returner that doesn't pan out i.e. robinson... moore... munnerlyn...

Cribbs has three years left on his deal. He's not exactly negotiating from a position of strength. Yeah, he can threaten to hold out, but lots of guys have done that before and it hasn't been all that effective.

I agree the offer is bad, but I expect a lowball number in an early volley.

Moore? Do you mean Kenneth Moore? He was a FA acquisition.

And Capt was a 7th

return guy, and possible receiving threat. imagine him and Steve Smith side by side.

Man I was just kidding about him on the other thread, Cribbs is a badass and the only thing keeping Cleveland floating. Reminds me of when Reuben Droughns was there except Cribbs is head and shoulders above Droughns. Man if we could get him possibilities/uses would be endless. Prolly too much $$$ though.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
