I agree that you are a hard working player and I feel that you are an important part of the Cleveland Browns. I am a Kent State fan and I wish you well in your football career.

I understand that the average players career is relatively short and that you need to maxamize your earnings. Additionally, football is a violent sport and you can be injured and your career can end early.

However, you negotiated a contract that at the time was "fair" to both you and the Cleveland Browns. Now based on your performance and your selection to the Pro Bowl you feel that you are more valuable and deserve a salary increase.

Please ask yourself one question about your current long term contract – If I were performing poorly would I volunteer to renegotiate and reduce my salary?

If your "honest" answer to this question is yes then I support your desire to negotiate a new contract.

If your answer is no I do not support you desire for a new contract and feel that you should continue to honor your current contract.

I am in full support of redoing the deal of a player who has clearly out performed his contract. Wouldn't you want a raise if you were performing better than your coworkers? Would you honestly not so much as bring it up even once? I am so sick and tired of fans who whine when players ask for their own raises.

Cribbs may not be a starter, but he is a FOOTBALL PLAYER, and in Cleveland those kinds of guys seem to be in short supply right now.

I'd say give him anywhere between 1.2 Mil and 1.9 Mil a year for four years. The guy's worth every penny.
