NFL GridIron Gab Daily Digest

The Browns best player since they have come back, Josh Cribbs, should be getting a deal, that should pay him between 5 to 10 million guaranteed. That is what the Browns and Cribbs are nailing out to finalize the deal. They will rip up his current deal that has three years left, and give him the new deal which has the same length.

When Cribbs and his agents came out right after Holmgren just got here and said they thought Cribbs played his last down with the Browns, I was disappointed in him with the timing, with Holmgren only being here three days and him coming out like he did.

After watching highlights of the past season to get my Browns fix for the time being, Josh Cribbs is unbelievable I know I would never be a good GM because I think with my heart to much but I am glad this situation is about to end. Cribbs is the Man!!!

Cribbs is the best player on the Browns and could be the best play maker in the Game, he is on his way to the top. With a little help on offense the Browns could really put up some numbers next season and at least make the team competitive the whole season. Josh Cribbs can does everything for this team from Kick Return to being the first player to make a tackle on a kickoff. It is honor for all of us to watch Cribbs play every Sunday wearing the Brown and Orange.

Cribbs could be the next Browns player that's Jersey is retired. He is proud to put the Orange helmet on and loves playing in front of the best fans in the NFL. Cribbs is always seen at Cleveland events and you never hear anything negative coming from Cribbs in the off season or during the Season. I know all of you Browns fans remember those runs against Pittsburgh my favorite being the run where he took the ball in front of the Steeler bench out of the Wildcat broke numerous tackles and ran for 37 yards and the Steelers didn't know what hit them.

The Browns need Josh Cribbs to keep his numbers after he gets his contract and there is no reason to believe he won't. I am so glad the Browns are about to "Pay the Man!!!"

Some more mocks out for you to persue:

Mel Kiper: Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas

My take: Not a fan of Kindle, and think that if the Giants are going to go linebacker (as Kiper has him listed) I don't see them going outside linebacker. We have Sergio Kindle–his name is Clint Sintim. Read Jesse's profile here

Todd McShay: Brian Price, DT, UCLA

My take: Fan of Price. Think he would fit well in Blue. Read Jesse's profile here

Walter Football: Brian Price, DT, UCLA

My take: See Above

Draft Countdown: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama

My take: Huge fan of McClain. Think he would start on Day 1. Tremendous talent. Comes from a winning program. Read Jesse's profile here

Pro Football Talk: Earl Thomas, S, Texas

My take: In terms of prospects as fits for the Giants, it's McClain 1, Thomas 1a. Could be equal. Both fill needs, and both could start on Day 1. I'd be excited about a Thomas Phillips safety crew. Read Jesse's profile here.

The Patriots are looking for someone to get to the quarterback in 2010, and the big rumor is that they will go hard after the Panthers Julius Peppers. Another name on the list though is that of the Dolphins Jason Taylor, but the Boston Herald reports that it appears that Taylor is not going to be available:

Ian Rapoport of The Boston Herald reports the Patriots list of potential pass-rushers to acquire starts with Panthers Pro Bowler Julius Peppers, then continues to include a whole slew of soon-to-be drafted players, somewhere in the middle, maybe, is Dolphins linebacker Jason Taylor. Coach Bill Belichick has not been shy about his love for Taylor but life just got a little difficult for the former NFL defensive MVP and Dancing with the Stars winner. According to a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Taylor just underwent shoulder surgery that will keep him out for three months which it means it’ll be the middle of May before he could actually work out for teams.
