  • Let's see if he passes his physical.

    Hes pure garbage and John Dorsey knows it.... When you guys see Callaway play... you'll forget all about Coleman.. Trust me.

    Agreed, he was essentially cut because he's not good. Wasn't gonna make the team. Hasn't been good off the field, hasn't been good on the field, hasn't been good in the locker room ... We didn't want him anymore.

    He would have fallen to fifth receiver on the depth chart, what were keeping him for?

    Exactly.. Ricardo and CC were odd men out..

    Did I like Ice-Butter Hands? No. 

    Do I think that making the move now and what we got in the trade makes sense? No. 

    First of all, there's nothing less you can trade for than a 7th round of... 2020! Not even 2019! Next thing is giving him for free. 

    Second, injuries in training camp happen. If you have an expendable receiver, let him stay until the final cuts, so you can: A, give him a roster spot if your main receivers suffer an injury and you need to fill a hole; B, trade him when OTHER team suffers such a loss and desperately needs to fill a hole.

    At this moment, his stock was at the lowest point. There's no sense on trading him immediately, in my opinion.

    I'm pretty high on Callaway, and even Ratley. But certainly I would approve if he was poison for the locker room. 

  • Id have kept him for kick returns alone over than that pathetic pick we got back

    Thats why we have Janis whose a whole lot faster...

  • @dutch-oven said:

    Now who was the person on here who thought it was stupid when I suggested right after last season ended that Coleman's days with the Browns were probably numbered? ?

    The lack of success of Browns first-rounders since '99 is staggering. Absolutely staggering. This team in the last few regimes has moved around and accumulated so many first-rounders, with virtually nothing to show for it. 

    This ^^^   

    Another hats off to Ghoolie- he called Coleman a POS and wasted pick way back....

    Its only a matter of time before he is here taking his victory lap.

  • How long before Dez is in the house?

  • people mentioned that Coleman never had a QB throwing to him, and while it's technically true the qb's that have thrown to him have been mostly Shiite...that doesn't excuse the "multiple" times he dropped balls (and more than one in the endzone) that were right in his hands. Aaron Rodgers couldn't have thrown the ball better to him on a couple drops last year. And one of those endzone drops was a walk off game winner had he caught it.

    Dez ain't coming.. it would upset the good vibes the lockeroom has presently

  • Pissing and moaning for a dude that has proven he can't stay on the field - and when he's lucky enough to be on the field, is as far away from what you'd expect from a 1st round draft pick as you can get. Just another 1st round bust and this one has Sashi's name attached to him. 

    Keep on flushing the turds responsible for 1-31. 

  • I heard he pissed off Haley that he didn't fight hard enough for the ball

  • Another new regime dumping players from the old one. The cycle continues ?

    This could partly be it. Of course, in 99% of the cases, the guys dumped deserved to be, and never really produced much elsewhere.  About the only guy I can think of is Dion Lewis....who went from here to New England.   And maybe much of his success had to do with the fact that they had Tom Brady throwing to him.

    Can anyone name any other Browns player who was let go/traded because the Browns thought they were not productive, but who went elsewhere and did quite well?

  • I think Ratley made the team with that long pass catch from Mayfield last week.

    Coleman was traded the moment he dropped the wide open sideline pass from the Kaiser.  It was a matter of when, not if.

    Well...I DO think that it may have been the performance of our rookie WRs that led the Browns brass to believe that Coleman was expendable.  And it really demonstrates to me that they think that Josh Gordon WILL be around and performing.

    Have any of these guys gone on to do anything anywhere?  And lets face it, these guys represent the failures of like 3-4 GMs, not just one.

    @londonbrown said:

    I don't recall Coleman ever doing anything in the return game for us.  Peppers,  Dayes, Duke were the punt and kick returners.

    @syd said:

    I have NO doubt that Haley had a big say in letting him go.  I mean, they had what?  7-8 WRs...or more vying for roster spots:   Gordon, Landry, Higgins, Janis, Ratley, Calloway...and Coleman,  plus some guys that may to us seem like scrubs:  CJ Board, Evan Berry, Derrick Willies, Scott Demarie, Blake Jackson....I think the OC must have seen more out of these guys than he did from Coleman.

    I am thinking more along the lines of this century.    (plus, I do not think the Browns thought that Warfield was unproductive....I think they were just looking to get what they thought was a franchise QB...and they had to give up a huge prize to get that)

    Dion Lewis did OK in New England as you said, Taylor Gabriel did OK for a season ...
