We haven’t heard much about wide receiver/kick returner Josh Cribbs since the Colts released him in May, but he says he’s heard from a few teams about possibly coming on board for the 2015 season.
Cribbs told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com said that he’s received inquiries from the Jaguars, Patriots and Chiefs since hitting the open market and that he still wants to play an 11th NFL season. The fact that none of those inquiries has led to a job suggests that his return to the field isn’t a sure thing, however, and that’s left Cribbs “open to retirement” as well.
Cribbs didn’t do much on offense for Indianapolis last season, but did return 19 kickoffs for 608 yards and 19 punts for 125 yards in six games with the team. He also fumbled twice, however, and added a third against New England in the playoffs, which might give teams pause before they give Cribbs that role for the 2015 season.
If Cribbs does land a job, it’s not likely to come with anything guaranteed beyond a shot at making the team. That may have to be enough if Cribbs is more open to playing than retiring.
