Joshua Cribbs is a man

[gk]

In case ya'll didn't know.....

Again the Browns win a game in which their QB throws for less than 100 yards.

BTW, two of the best games of the NFL season have been the Browns-Lions and Browns-Chiefs.

Good god, Harrison runs for 286 yards??? Maybe Jamal Lewis should have been kicked to the curb a year ago?

Here's another fun fact about Josh Cribbs:

Had a higher QB rating than Quinn today! (despite going 0 for 1)

Little league soccer games are generally more exciting than MLS games, but no says the little leaguers are better players.

Is Cribbs a free agent this year or is he still under contract?

There's the rub. He's not a free agent for several more years. As an undrafted free agent, he signed a six-year deal worth an average of like $600,00 a year, maybe less.

He hasn't made waves and he wants to stay in Cleveland (he went to Kent State), but his agent has let it be known that they need to renegotiate his deal. And he's right.

Wow. Are six year deals normal for undrafted free agents?

I've no idea. I think he signed it after his rookie campaign. I'm sure at the time it seemed like Boom City for Cribbs. But now, that deal is dreadfully obsolete. The deal would be obsolete if he were "just" a great return man. But he's also now a huge (the only?) focal point of their offense: running and catching. He also led the team in special teams TACKLES either last year or the year before. All this for a team that's out of the playoffs by October most years.

In other words, Joshua Cribbs is a man.

Holmgren to Cleveland is now official. Should be interesting.
