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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
