Josh Cribbs and his agent said Friday that new president Mike Holmgren has given the Browns the green light to extend Cribbs' contract. "Holmgren already gave the word to the coach and to the organization here,'' said Cribbs. "I'm sure he's going to start out on the right foot and take care of me. He knows football and he takes care of players and builds programs.'' Cribbs' wish was to have his deal re-done by the final game of the season, but he's eased up on that. "I'm trying to get it done as soon as possible,'' he said. "It's going to get it done. I'd prefer it be done before the end of the season, by tomorrow. But I've waited this long and it's for a reason. Just think what it would've been if I had gotten it before everything I did this season. Everything works out for a reason.''
