Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel has
agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2011 with the team worth between
$3.8-$4.2
million per season, a league source told Scout.com. Crennel had two years left on his original five-year deal which was valued at
more than $2 million per season. Crennel could make up to $4.2 million in each
season of the two-year extension depending on the team's achievement.
Crennel was able to weather the storm of a rocky beginning to the 2007 season to
bring the team back to their first winning campaign since 2002.
The team also made some other coaching news recently by extending the contract
of offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski for two more seasons (his deal will also
expire after 2011) and they also fired defensive coordinator Todd Grantham.
