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.

    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
    • This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach
    • 2 bad teams played yesterday and one lost. Both teams are still bad today. Bryce is a big part of that. It wouldn't have been a close game if DC would have just gone rage rushing from the start.  The Panthers would look so much better with just decent WB play. No way to avoid that fact.
