Browns trade for WR Sammie Coates
-
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.

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.

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.....

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)

Coates = Braylon Edwards V2
Brace yourselves for some of this.

Somewhat surprising.
He wasn't bad until he mangled his hand. After that it was drop city.
Maybe he makes an adjustment and regains his previous form?
Worth the risk for you guys

Can only hope the Browns find something there that the Stools couldnt....
At the same time, you'd think they could find a comparable talent on the waiver wire in just a few hours....for free....

I was thinking same thing? I haven't seen enough of Coates due to his lack of playing time last year (Brown, Bell, Wheaton) but having two Auburn receivers might work. I think Ricardo Louis was Auburn and haven't seen him either. We need a big receiver for Rookie Kizer who has an arm! Someone who's going to fight for the 50/50 balls. Kenny Britt fits the description and should provide veteran leadership we're going to need with this very young team.
Kizer is going to need Coleman Britt, Crowell, Duke Johnson and a good offensive line! I wonder which tight end will be the starter? DeValve, Telfer or Njoku
But say what you will the Browns are better than we think. Preseason matters for so many reason and I'm glad they went 4-0. Momentum, building confidence is a positive thing and will carry over into the regular season

I hope a 4-0 preseason does more for the Browns than it did for the 2008 Lions...

The life expectancy of our "momentum" would be greater were we opening against the Jets...
As for waiver wire WR options... or any position for that matter... I've looked at the waiver wire and it's...

Tory Holt had the same hands and could snag everything.

A decoy for our top notch recievers ?

I honestly don't get the move...He's been a bust so far...
Hes been hurt. The steelers dont really miss on wr's. He was just the odd man out with juju getting drafted and bryant getting reinstated. A spoil of riches at wr in pgh. I thought we may cut heyward bey but hes an ace on special teams. Coates just wasnt needed.

All it means to me is Coco and Louis still suck if were still going after someones leftovers...

Really? LImas Sweed, Willie Reid, Dri Archer, Troy Edwards.(even Coates himself...since you don't think much of him) What are these guys doing for you? Since 2000 the Steelers are about 50/50.
(but, that is a good percentage, compared to the Browns who are kind o Ohfer)

2005: Fred Gibson
4 of 7In 2005, the Steelers selected Fred Gibson in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Gibson stood at 6'4" and had good speed. The Steelers hoped he could be the replacement for Plaxico Burress.
Gibson survived until final cuts with the Steelers, and when he was released, he joined the Miami Dolphins practice squad, where he remained for two years.
In 2007, Gibson signed with the Atlanta Falcons, and was released three days later for missing a team meeting.
He then signed with the St. Louis Rams on August 6th, and was released on August 31st.
Gibson then signed with the New York Giants on September 3rd to join their practice squad, and was released five days later
2008: Limas Sweed
6 of 7When the Steelers selected Limas Sweed in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft, many people believed that the Steelers had finally found the stud, big receiver that Ben Roethlisberger wanted.
Sweed had all the look of the part, unfortunately though, he didn't have the talent and ability to stay healthy needed to go with it.
After injuries in his first two years, the Steelers finally cut Sweed's cord at the end of the lockout.
