Josh is a great asset to the team. And he is not getting paid what he should be. $600k a year, is not a lot for what he does. He is right, he's probably got about 10 years to support his family for life. And he does give a lot back to the community, he does have other business ventures. Not to mention he is a really nice guy, and has a lovely family... esp that little girl of his. Don't condemn him for wanting to ensure that his family is taken care of, and asking for nothing more than to get paid for what he is worth. Man you people are mean.

Don’t condemn him for wanting to ensure that his family is taken care of, and asking for nothing more than to get paid for what he is worth.

I spent 22 years in the Navy, the pay was not always the best, but it was my choice and I and my family lived with it. I could have got out and found something better to "take care of my family" but that was not who I was and they were ok with it. If it is so hard to scrape by on 600k a year, get out and find something better. I believe that is your name on your contract, no one forced you to sign it. I would have respected you had you just said that you believe you needed to be paid fair market value instead of this "family" crap, that is the cowards way of saying I want more but want to look good in asking. You are a GREAT special teamer, check what the others are getting paid then complain. I am sure there are many people who woul love to scrape by with what you are being paid! Cry me a river Josh!

How will this statement endear him to the Browns fans? Saying that all contracts are one-sided in favour of the Team - where is the foundation for that statement? And how are the Browns any different? The best is the part about only being able to work for 10 years or so compared to a much longer career for other professionals like doctors. Yeah, OK, but he will make more in 10 years at over $600,000 a season than a heart surgeon will make in a lifetime. Besides, his income earning is not over after 10 years. And the timing of this statement is disgusting - Mangini meets with him in private after the workout and then this is the reaction? Cribbs is a special teams player for crying out loud, an excellent one, but that has been his role. If he stayed and played 18-20 snaps at corner per game and a few downs at receiver (like Mangini said he planned), then next year is when he could have made a new contract demand. Not now. Gimme a break. This is the stupidest thing he could have done. How will this statement endear him to the Browns fans?

I guess its to hard to support a family on 600K a year.....I mean come on he has to "take care of my family for not just a year or two, but for as long as I am walking this earth"............josh your one of my favorites but WTF dude.......bitching about being able to take care of your family when ur making drastically more than the average browns fan in a town full of ppl laid off is not going to help get the fans behind you, even me a owner of your jersey wants to take a shit inbetween the 1 and the 6. Just say you want the money you deserve dont talk about how you need to support your family because a lot of families in this town are scraping by on unemployment checks......you greedy fuck.....go down to the east side and then you will see the people who need to support their families. You have a college degree from Kent state so dont talk like this is your only way of making money after u retire you will prolly land a job where your making 6 figures just because of your name....... BTW how much money did Giant eagle pay you for the "get go" commercials......you gross more than a mill a year from being a brown so dont at like your scraping by to feed your kids......I love ya josh and u derserve to get paid but dont bitch about taking care of your kin in this city when ur making that much already.....
