Browns trade for WR Sammie Coates
-
-
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%

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...
Steelers get Haden, we get Coates.
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.

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.....

We arent going to miss coates. I like him but he wont be missed. We have Brown, bryant, juju, justin hunter and eli rogers. As far as ward is concerned mitchell is still hurt with no time table, thats the only way i see ward getting signed.

Bell wont hit the open market, he just wants more guaranteed money and his "i want 17" was a joke with players on the team.

Just like browns won't miss haden. Think both teams benefit here tho...Joe's good for zone, browns need a field stretcher.

umm...so, I said that Brock would be our starter and that the Steelers would not trade a WR to us.
I'm phucking brilliant apparently.
I bet it was this trade that put the kibosh on Rannell Hall. (I wanted him on the team)
