It's hard to say what the end result will be with respect to the Joshua Cribbs situation. He has already made a lot of noise this offseason; first as an apparent favorite of Eric Mangini, and recently as a player basically demanding a new contract.

The next step in Cribbs' plan to receive that contract is a gesture of good faith to the Browns -- he will show up to practice today. J.R. Rickert, Cribbs' agent, sent the following text message to local news outlets on Monday:

"Joshua Cribbs will report to practice on Tuesday.  He is making this good faith effort to show everyone just how important this is to him.  He will continue to communicate with the Browns on a regular basis and we are optimistic that there will be a fair solution."

It's good to hear that Cribbs will be returning to the field. There's not much else to say besides that.
