    Worst case scenario a look in their O playbook to compete with Haden giving them our D plays lol. 

    Ya, a little tit for tat.

    We needed WR depth.

    And it's the same pick we got for Justin Gilbert. I'll take that trade.

    A used condom would be highly offended if it was traded for Gilbert, so getting a player out of him is like striking gold.

  • So quick question on this, because I am seeing two different things. Some people  are saying that we gave them our 2019 7th rounder and others are saying we got theirs. Wondering who is right. Regardless I don't see the harm, it basically comes down to a straight up player for player trade at the end of the day. He can't be any worse than what we have after Coleman.

    We get Coates AND a 2017 7th.

    They get 2018 6th.

  • You mean 2018 and 2019

  • we get Coats & Pitts 2019 7th rounder...Pitt gets 2018 6th rounder...Just like Ragland deal..If a rook is in rook contract you get nothing till rook' orginial contract ends(is what it looks like)..More hidden agent crap imo.....Welcome Aboard Sammie Coats!! Auburn battle with Louis for #3WR #WarEagle    

  • Now that we have completed this quest to acquire the NFL-caliber 2015 Auburn offensive starters [Shon Coleman, Ricardo Louis], do we get a draft pick?

    This move unlocks some sort of Madden dynasty bonus, right?

  • Let's see who gets the better of it.

    Steelers get Haden,  we get Coates.

    I'm not numerically brilliant like the analytic stratomatic fantasy guys but Haden by a MILE !

  • I really like coates but with justin hunter playing well he was the odd man out. Hes strong as hell for a receiver with good speed. His hands arent the best and hes broken some fingers pretty badly. His one hand all things considered is pretty mangled for a wr. The browns made a smart move imo and im assuming this saved us from cutting him. I honestly expected him yo make the team but with juju getting drafted that should have been my first sign.

    Small sample size, but 43% catch rate aint gonna cut it.

    Tell that to Corey Coleman.....

    IMO, this is a F with Pittsburgh move.

    He literally played with broken fingers. His hands arent great but hes better than 43%

    Basically Gilbert for Coates and a 7th... if you want to look backwards.

    And it you don't want to look backwards, then we swapped a 2019 6th for a 2018 7th, which in the NFL is an equal swap, and they gave us Coates.

    I'm good either way...

    This is not a third way to look at it.

  • Im kind of upset hes a brown honestly. I wish him well either way. 

  • I hate WRs with stone hands.  I'd rather have a reliable WR that's slow as a brick.

  • One thing is undeniable... Sashi ain't afraid to deal with anyone.

  • Pgh is deep in wide receivers, and getting Bryant completely unsuspended 24 hours ago meant someone was likely to go. I thought Droppius Wayward-Boy would go. If Bryant gets caught again Pgh will wish they had Coates back. 

    Meanwhile Pgh allegedly is in the hunt for T.J. Ward. They could have a half Browns def backfield that would actually be pretty good - if this was 2014. They seem to be rolling the dice more than usual this year.

    Could be they are not sure when the Rothlesberger window is closing, so making a push now...

    and/or

    Concerned about signing Bell... his reported "ask" is a cap buster.
