Cribbs, 37, retired from the NFL officially in March 2017 after last playing in single-year stints with the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Cribbs signed a one-day contract with the Browns, who first brought on the undrafted free agent in 2005, before making his retirement official three years ago.
During his eight-year tenure with the Browns, Cribbs developed into one of the most dangerous kick return specialist in the league. In his 10-year NFL career, Cribbs recorded three punt returns for touchdowns, and averaged 10.7 yards per return overall. He also had eight total kickoff returns for touchdowns, including a league-leading three during the 2009 season.
Cribbs averaged just over 26 yards per return on kickoffs in his NFL career and was a huge boost for Cleveland during his time in northeastern Ohio. Cribbs also contributed 753 rushing yards and 1,161 receiving yards in his time in a Browns uniform.
The Legends Club ceremony is slated to occur in Week 3 for the Browns on Sept. 27 with the NFC's Washington Redskins in town.
Additionally, Slaughter will be inducted alongside Cribbs. Slaughter, 55, retired from the game in 1998. The two-time Pro Bowl receiver spent the first six year of his NFL career with the Browns after being drafted in the second round of the 1989 class, and totaled 305 catches for over 4,800 receiving yards, scoring 27 touchdowns.
Slaughter possesses the eighth-most receiving yards in Browns franchise history.
