In a heartfelt picture message on Instagram Wednesday night, the former Kent State University player and now former Cleveland Brown, said thank you to his fans in Cleveland.  

“It's been a blessing to be in Cleveland, wishing the best to the city & the Team. If I could stay I would,” Cribbs (@joshcribbs16) tweeted. "I proved I would die for this ... that I would give 110 percent every game. That the community was just as important as the field. So if it's my time to go, at least it's in good hands."

The special teams player was reportedly working on a free-agent deal with the Arizona Cardinals, but his agent told The Plain Dealer no agreement has been made yet.
