Cribbs I'd most likely let walk. |
Cribbs is still effective as a KO returner and gunner on ST. |
Currently, the best person in the AFC to do so.
Why re-sign someone in their prime at the top of their game, though? |
because benji is faster... and cribbs gets paid 5m a year |
So use Benji to return punts, but don't even think about using him as a gunner.
I think Cribbs might be willing to stick around Cleveland for $3-4M/year. That to me is worth what he brings to the team, and wouldn't really have a dramatic effect on the cap. |
that bademosi kid is pretty darn good at gunning. |
He is. Would he be if he drew more attention because of Cribbs' absence? I'd rather not know. |
i would. 5m for a gunner, reserve WR and a slow aging 30 year old KR who got outshined this year by the young super fast benji in his limited appearances doesnt seem like a good use of money to me

Pro Bowl isn't a barometer for anything anymore, he's likely going to be fazed out as a returner and offers just coverage and reserve WR value at this point. |
Is it just me that finds it a little curious that Cribbs even lined up at WR in the Pro Bowl, much less did well?
I mean, new HC/OC, new teammates, new system, etc. |
I truly believe he's a gamer that could probably make an NFL team as a 4th/5th WR if he had to. That said he has to be paid like what he is, not what he used to be able to do in the return game. |

It ain't going to take 5m to retain him, numbers person.

I think Cribbs is gone unless the new regime is willing to line him up as an offensive weapon. I think he wants to play more on the offensive side of the ball (and always has, but toed the line and said what the team wanted him to). I think he would most like to do it here but that the opportunity won't be there. I wish him luck going forward and I pray he doesn't end up on a division rival because that would make me sad.
I do expect to see him in another pro bowl. |

well considering we aren't paying him 5m anymore I don't see how that's relevant. You sound a little bitter. |

Maybe not, but $3-4M isn't even a lot of money for the team with the 2nd highest amount of cap space. |

| maybe some really spendy team like the Raiders or Redskins drops a contract on him like the one we gave him a few years ago but I don't see how he's done anything but depreciate greatly since then. |

The position is undervalued as well. His "big payday" days are behind him. |

unfortunately i think another team will offer Cribbs a bigger payday than the Browns. some team with bad ST will overpay for him. while Cribbs has been good to us i suspect a bigger paycheck will outweigh his loyalty to Cleveland.
Phil, on the other hand, needs to be signed here to a fair contract. i don't know what i'll do if we have problems with our kicker next year. that's the one bit of sadness we haven't had to endure here.
