If Holmgren lets him go he will win the "Dumb Ass Award" for 2010!!

omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Cribbs as a player but why would you pay Cribbs a bunch of money and give up a draft pick if the only place he can help you is in the return game and as a wildcat QB? I would much rather keep the draft pick and draft a guy like CJ Spiller or any player that can help you in both the return game and on the field as a solid contributor at WR or a backup RB.

Because Cribbs is one of the games biggest game changers. He is electric, sells tickets, scores points, always must be accounted for, is a proven success, can be a solid number 3 receiver and is the pest return man in the NFL.

Make the trade, get him here. It all just makes sense. We need help on special teams obviously, we just let our coach go. They need draft picks to build what the new guys in charge are going to establish.

Off season dream.

Give them a 2nd and even a 5th or 6th along with it. Cribbs would add a truly dynamic element to the offense.

I wonder what Cleveland would want...I'd be a little iffy if we had to give up a 2nd rounder...any less than that I'd say do it without even thinking about it, hell I'd go a 3rd and 4th/5th no question...but a 2nd...lol, id be 50/50 on it...and thats assuming we work out a contract with him so we dont have the same issues he currently does in Cleveland, Im talkin long term, like 5 years baby...

Get him here NOW!

Considering that the return game arguably cost us the playoffs, I wouldn't mind a second, only because we have two 1sts. And I agree about the contract. It doesn't seem that they will give him another offer though, I hope Scott already called them up!

I'd give a 2nd plus a 5th or something lower. Anything more and say NO. If they ask for one of the 1st rounders say no. But for a 2nd and Cribbs in return. Heck yes. He's the best return man in the game. He single handedly solves our return problems. Plus he can add a dynamic dimension to our offense as well.

BTW I don't think it will happen for several reasons.

1) Cleveland will probably end up keeping him.
2) Somebody will offer more than we will.
3) The YORKIES won't want to pay him the type of money he deserves.

It's a dream to believe we will get him but it would be great if we can do it.

True...the return game can be blamed for one (of many) reason why we didn't make the playoffs this year...damn, that stings so bad...

Niner Nation is hoping right now that Scotty has been busy blowing up Cleveland's phones and trying to make this happen...
