Cribbs'/Browns Negotiations Looking Up

The Canton Repository reports Josh Cribbs' agent, J.R. Rickert, was positive toward the two sides making a deal after an initial meeting with Browns' Executive Vice President, Bryan Wiedmeyer. A contract in the $2.5 million/year range for Cribbs is likely where this thing is headed. Earlier this month, former Browns' team representative, Dawn Aponte was involved in the early stages of negotiations with Cribbs and his agents. Her perceived "take it or leave it" low-ball offer of $1.4 million/year set off Cribbs and his agents, causing them to go on a mini-media tour, Twitter and all. Aponte is no longer with the team.
