Trust me when I say this:
Cribbs doesn't want to leave and the Browns can't let him go.
The offer was ridiculously stupid.
By the 2010 season, he will be making $3 Million a year with the Browns. I guarantee that.

[h2]Cribbs' agent: No choice but to demand a trade [/h2]
Posted: January 6th, 2010 | Jason La Canfora | Tags: Cleveland Browns, Josh Cribbs, Mike Holmgren
J.R. Rickert, the agent for Pro Bowl return specialist/receiver Josh Cribbs, said that the Cleveland Browns' final offer in the ongoing contract negotiations between Cribbs and the team have left him no choice but to demand a trade.
Cribbs, who set an NFL record for career return touchdowns this season and was promised a new deal above his veteran minimum contract by previous team management, was offered a new deal with an average salary of $1.4 million per season on a six-year deal, according to Rickert, with roughly $400,000 to sign. Cribbs, who is signed through 2012, has been working with the team in an effort to get a new contract since before the season began.
"We're going to formally put in a request for a trade," Rickert said. "He will not set foot in that facility again. If they had offered even something like $2.5 million per season we could have worked with them, but to me this offer is indefensible."
Rickert said that team executive Dawn Aponte told him the offer was final and would not change, and that new team president Mike Holmgren was in agreement with her on the offer.
"Dawn said this was it, this was their offer," Rickert said. "She said it would be 1.4 today, 1.4 in March and 1.4 in August."
Rickert said he asked the team if they needed or wanted more time to consider things, especially with Holmgren just coming on the job, and that he told Aponte if she did not change the offer or request more time to negotiate by 5 p.m. Wednesday, he was going to take the unusual tactic of making the offer public.
"I didn't feel like we had any other choice than to let the Browns fans know exactly what was going on," Rickert said, "and let them know why Josh was preparing to leave."
Darren Sproles, who has shined as a returner and at times as a running back also, is the top specialist, making $6.6 million in 2009 on a franchise tag. Devin Hester, who got an extension with three years left on his rookie deal, is making about $5.8 million per season. Miami's Ted Ginn, a modest comparable to Cribbs at best, averages $3.5 million on his rookie deal.

They offered that man 1.4 per year, while Roscoe Parrish is making 3.2 and Andre Davis makes 4.3....
I'm really not one to defend players after signing long-term contracts, and I fully understand the precedent discussing an extension 2 years before itexpires
but... c'mon Randy
Edit:
@ the article.
Double edit: Didn't Mangini say they were gonna put Cribbs at safety too? lol

This can't be for real.
Holmgren said resigning Cribbs was a priority in his presser...
And you low ball him LIKE THAT?!
Cribbs definitely wants to stay a Brown. This can't be the FINAL offer...can it?!
Cleveland is going to go BANANAS if we don't pay him...
I refuse to believe this until it finally happens...

Mangina's %!@ is about to get canned. If not, I officially have lost ALL faith in Mike Holmgren (already).

I firmly believe that he's sort of bluffing this trade demand to worry the Browns.
He said it himself, he wants to be a Brown for life. He WILL get the money he deserves..

How long til teams start booting it out of bounds and taking the 40, though? Word to Dante Hall falling of the earth.
But, even based on that, he should get paid.

someone is gonan sign him for megabucks, and try and get a return on their investment by using him at WR a lot more and he will be rendered ineffective at bothreceiver and Kick return
