Cribbs asks Browns to restructure contract

BEREA — Pro Bowler Joshua Cribbs has made an unexpected return at the Cleveland Browns.

Cribbs, one of the NFL’s premier special teams players who took back two kickoffs and a punt for touchdowns last season, said Tuesday that his agent has asked the club to restructure the six-year contract extension he signed during the 2006 season.

That might be asking a lot since Cribbs, considered the AFC’s top return man, still has five years remaining on the deal, which is worth around $6 million.
