The Browns have come to Cribbs with a new offer that would pay him around $1.4 million per year, which he looks at as a smack in the face. I even got insulted when I read that figure. When asked if he’d be playing another game for Cleveland, Cribbs responded “It’s unlikely the way they’re talking right now,”.

Hmmm, new GM, same old Cleveland? Cribbs is the teams most talented player by a long shot and is the most exciting player the Browns have had since, well, maybe ever.

Mike Holmgren knows talent when he sees it though and plans on trying to work out a deal with Josh.

“I believe players should be rewarded for what they do,” Holmgren said. “I have no problems with that at all. What happens though on occasion is our view of how much that should be and the agent’s view of how much that should be differs. We have made an effort.”

There you go, maybe Josh will get taken care of after all. I mean Homgren has payed talent in the past. Two examples that come to mind right off the bat are Deion Branch and Shaun Alexander. Both those guys got more than their fair share, like way more. Don’t worry Cleveland fans, you’re in good hands…..
