Versatile Josh Cribbs had expressed optimism this week that he’d get a new deal with the Cleveland Browns so that he will be able to play in Browns jersey for a few more years. He told reporters that he had been told by the team officials he would be given a new contract by the end of the season.
That new contract will end a negotiation that has been sticky since training camp.
“They told me they wanted to do something before the year was over,” Cribbs said. “Coach (Eric) Mangini has been optimistic about it as well. He’s told me directly I deserve a new contract and he would work to get it done.”
Cribbs has three years left on his existing deal, which pays him $6.77 million over six years, but believes he deserves a raise now, as he has been by far the most dynamic player on the Browns roster and integral part of the offense after building a reputation as a special teams star during his first four years in the NFL. His versatility also adds value. The player has been placed on different positions of the team and can always give satisfying performance anywhere he is.
