Browns return specialist Cribbs officially retires

CLEVELAND -- There will be no more returns for Josh Cribbs.

The former Browns Pro Bowl return specialist and wide receiver officially announced his retirement Wednesday from the NFL, ending a storybook career he began as an undrafted free agent quarterback out of Kent State.

Cribbs played eight seasons with Cleveland, where he blossomed into one of the league's best career returners. Cribbs hasn't played since 2014 with Indianapolis and had considered making a comeback over the past two seasons before saying on Twitter that he's hanging it up.

Cribbs thanked Cleveland fans for their support.
