  • 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?

    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%

    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.

    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.

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

  • 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.

    Makes sense. When Bell does go on the open market, they will have to put extra shifts on at the US Mint to print enough money. OTOH he is not exactly Jim Brown in durability.. He has never completed a full season without injury. But there will be a big payday there unless he gets severely injured this season. Gotta admit though Pgh seems to know when to let a player go.....
