Kick returner IS a position we need to fiil:

Cribbs: it's 'unlikely' he'll stay in Cleveland - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

He'd be good to have, for sure I just find the situation odd.

I think he is expecting the Bank.

The life of a Kick Returner is very short for many reasons.

A. He is only as good as his blocking. I don't care how good the guy is. Kicking coverage has to be one of the biggest in player turn over form year to year compared to any other team. It is impossible to establish the same blocking year in and year out because either thos players are now starting or lost out to new draft picks.

B. The team will start to incorporate him more into the every day game, and the focus on kick returns deminishes.

C. Special teams start game planning against them.

Devon Hester got a big contract and basially became silent.

Dante Hall got traded and was basically silenced.

I am not saying it wouldn't be nice, but you don't pay a kick returner a ton of money. Just like you don't pay a running back over 30 a ton of money... The probability of getting your money worth isn't there.
