The Browns have not shown interest in re-signing free agent KR Josh Cribbs. Cribbs has reportedly drawn interest from "multiple" teams since the weekend window opened, but the Browns aren't among them. Cleveland has a whopping $47 million in salary cap space. It'll likely be used to supplement the defense.

Free agent Josh Cribbs' agent insists they haven't been talking to other teams. "Our conversations to this point have been exclusively with the Browns," Cribbs' rep said. Cribbs made waves Thursday when he said his agent had been "meeting with several different teams." It's likely that at least some mild tampering has taken place, but it's doubtful the Browns will pursue the matter since they're expected to let Cribbs walk.

Free agent Josh Cribbs' agent says he's been in "constant communication" with the Browns. The two sides met at the Combine last week, but it would be a surprise if Cleveland re-signed the soon-to-be 30-year-old pure special teamer. Cribbs' agent says he "anticipates a strong market" for his client, and Cribbs made waves on Thursday by saying his agent has been "meeting with several teams" and "numbers have already been brought to the table." We could have a tampering case here.

Updating an earlier item, the Browns now plan to meet with free agent Josh Cribbs' agent at the Combine. That doesn't mean the Browns will make Cribbs an offer. The consensus among the local media is that Cribbs has played his final game in a Browns uniform.

The Browns have yet to reach out to free agent Josh Cribbs about a new deal, and haven't scheduled talks for the Combine. Cribbs wants to return to Cleveland, but the feeling doesn't appear to be mutual. Cribbs' agent anticipates "plenty of interest from other teams," but seems unaware that his client caught just seven passes in 2012 and will soon turn 30. In Cribbs' defense, he did have his best year returning punts and kicks since 2009 last season. Cribbs should be a return specialist wherever he ends up.

The Canton Repository believes Sunday night's Pro Bowl was impending free agent Josh Cribbs' last game as a Brown. Cribbs caught three passes for 56 yards and a touchdown on Sunday night, while averaging 26 yards on three kick returns. The 29-year-old has yet to hear from the Browns in regards to a possible new contract, and owner Jimmy Haslam recently said a decision will be made over the next few weeks. Cribbs just doesn't bring anything to the table on offense, and the future of the kick return game is up in the air.

The Browns have yet to discuss the future of impending free agents KR/WR Josh Cribbs and K Phil Dawson. Owner Jimmy Haslam said "those decisions will be made over the next few weeks," while coach Rob Chudzinski said they'll just have to "wait and see how everything fits together on that." Both players were Pro Bowl selections, but that hardly means anything anymore, and both are on the wrong side of 30.

Impending free agent KR Josh Cribbs has yet to hear from the Browns about the possibility of a new contract. Cribbs is in the final year of the pay bump extracted from president Mike Holmgren during NFL Network's "Pay the Man" campaign back in 2009-10. Rookie Travis Benjamin was named AFC special teams player of the week on the strength of an electric 93-yard punt return. New owner Jimmy Haslem and CEO Joe Banner have no loyalty to Cribbs, who turns 30 in the offseason. With the future of kickoff returns up in the air, Cribbs' NFL future is cloudy.

Josh Cribbs (concussion) will practice Wednesday. Cribbs has bounced back from last Thursday's scary blow to the head incredibly well. He's on track to serve as the Browns' primary return man against the Giants Sunday.
