Browns' Winslow wants a new deal

Cleveland Browns TE Kellen Winslow wants a new contract. Winslow is currently in Hawaii playing in his first career Pro Bowl and is letting it be known its time to re-negotiate. "When I got hurt (in 2005)the contract got re-negotiated so some things changed but I think I've proven these past two years that I'm one of the elite tight ends,'' Winslow said from the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. "My value on the field, they put in a nickel, an extra DB in the game, and that really changes the whole game. They have to guard me kind of like a wide receiver so, you know, yeah, gotta to get that new money. "

His agent, Drew Rosenhaus will be handling those negotiations. His current contract runs through 2010 and is very performance-based. in 2008 he's set to make $1 million, 2009 - $1.255 million, 2010 $1.4925 million. This past season Winslow had carrer highs with 1106 yards receiving and 5 touchdowns. His yardage set a team record for tight ends, and was third overall.

Time for a pay raise? Yea I'd say so putting up those kind of numbers. Statistically he did finish as the third best tight end in the NFL. But Winslow has been injury prone, offseason surgeries are starting to become the norm already for this young player. So i'd give him a raise, but not to much of one.
