I agree. The Browns have all the leverage in this one. Demanding a new contract with 3 years left is very unusual. And I do trust Holmgren gets something done in the end. Cribbs and his agent just need to calm down. What is it, his 3rd day on the job? I bet Holmgren doesn't even know the secretaries name yet! Let him get his feet in the door. His top priority was to rule on the coaching situation. He's done that. The next order of business is to get a GM. Then, he can deal with Cribbs. It's a long offseason.
I thought he WAS the GM as well as the other responsibilities he's got.
The Cleveland Browns are expected to announce as early as Monday that they have hired Philadelphia's Tom Heckert as their general manager, league sources tell ESPN.
Just like I forecasted and with the Eagles done for the year....

Fox Sports releases Mock Draft 3.0
Schrager: NFL Mock Draft 3.0 - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN
It has Tennessee Safety Eric Berry going to the Browns at #7. Can some of you SEC/Tennessee boys speak on Eric Berry. I hear he's a stud. Any predictions for him developing in the NFL?
I'd be surprised if he's there at 7 still, but there's such a need for OL and this draft is packed with good ones, he may fall that far.
It is now being reported by Matt Hayes of Sporting News that the Browns will be one of five teams to hold a private workout with the Heisman winner.
Browns president Mike Holmgren’s history with quarterbacks has been discussed ad nausem since his arrival. Historically, Holmgren has coached quarterbacks that were not considered to be at the top of their draft class into winners at the professional level. With the trade of Brady Quinn and release of Derek Anderson, it is speculated that Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert will look to the upcoming NFL Draft for his future quarterback.
ESPN has reportedly invited Tebow to be a part of the draft day festivities. This will undoubtedly be one of the biggest story lines throughout the entire weekend.

The significant part of that is they've started inviting '2nd day' people since the draft spans 3 days this year.
Tebow is going to be red-faced when he's still sitting there on day #2 (or 3).ESPN has reportedly invited Tebow to be a part of the draft day festivities. This will undoubtedly be one of the biggest story lines throughout the entire weekend.

Someone will trade up to get him mid-end of 2nd or early 3rd, if I had to guess.
Tebow is going to be red-faced when he's still sitting there on day #2 (or 3).
The Browns have 13 picks overall I believe. The first one is #7 overall, then we don't have any in the 2nd round, but we do have 3 in the Third round. It's possible we use one of them to move up to snag a QB. Who, I have no idea.
Personally I like Tony Pike and Dan LeFevour for QB's in the later rounds.
