DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Corey Coleman?

its not Corey's fault. He gets cold.

its hues fault.. he never taught him to catch.....

Hmm.. wondering when the trade deadline is..

I'd hold onto Coleman at least thru camp..

.I would like to see Coleman with a real QB

He's broken his hand twice, and watched a ball hit him in the face through his hands when it mattered most. I'm not sure how much value we'd get for him. I'd like to see what he can do with a good qb.

jc..

Cory Coleman's value may not be higher than it is "now"..before the 2018 season starts.

Signing Landry who is similar in size to Cory Coleman and who lead the NFL in receptions in 2017 and has a history of being durable, missing only 7 starts in 4 seasons.

Josh Gordon is likely the Browns #1/#2 wr..so where does that leave Cory Coleman?

I view Coleman as potential "trade bait" if a decent deal is presented. If a deal is not presented, Coleman will bring added depth if he can remain healthy.

The Browns will likely be looking to add more WR talent via free agency and/or the draft, making Coleman a target for trade.

Too early to give up on Coleman. He's had his up's and down'd, but there have been up's.

He isn't a #1, and we have had to play him as such most of his career.

I think he can still be a pretty good player. After Gordon and Landry, who is better than Coleman?

That is the thing with draft picks and some fans. We drafted Coleman thinking he would be a #1 type player. Ok....he isn't...that doesn't mean he isn't any good or a bust.....he is just a bust in the minds of fans who somehow think draft position is important once a player is in the league.

Coleman is still a good player. It reminds me of Gerrard Warren. Ok, he never became the next "Mean" Joe, which was the hope.

He did go on to start for a few other teams another 6-7 years after he left the Browns. That is far from being a bust. He just didn't meet the expectations some in Cleveland had.

I was going to compare Gordon to Quincy Morgan but I thought better of it...

When the ball goes through your hands and hits you in the face, it's not the fault of the QB. You can measure a WR based on what he does when the ball is thrown well to him. Thus far Coleman hasn't impressed me.

Would Browns trade Corey Coleman?

Posted by Mike Florio on May 8, 2018, 6:46 PM EDT

With the return of Josh Gordon and the trade for Jarvis Landry and the drafting of Antonio Callaway, the Browns suddenly have a crowded room at the receiver position. Does that make 2016 first-rounder Corey Coleman the odd man out? Perhaps.

Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer suggests that the Browns would trade Coleman, if the Browns receive a “decent offer.”

It’s unclear what that precisely means, but whoever gets Coleman would be banking on him playing much better than he has in two NFL seasons. Injuries (a pair of broken hands) have been an issue, and Coleman has only 718 career receiving yards in 19 career regular-season games. The question becomes whether he can be more durable, and whether he can do more when he plays.

If Coleman washes out of Cleveland, he’d become the latest failed first-round receiver in an eye-opening list of them. After Julio Jones and A.J. Green arrived in 2011 (Jonathan Baldwin was the first-round bust that year), round one has produced more than a few receivers who failed to live up to their potential. In 2012, Justin Blackmon, Michael Floyd, Kendall Wright, and A.J. Jenkins didn’t work out. In 2013, Tavon Austin and Cordarrelle Patterson became more bust than boom. (DeAndre Hopkins turned out OK.) In 2015, Kevin White, DeVante Parker (who has yet to break out), Nelson Agholor, Breshad Perriman, and Phillip Dorsett eventually underachieved. (Amari Cooper was the exception.)The 2016 class of Coleman, Will Fuller (1,058 total yards in two seasons, so not really a bust), Josh Doctson, and Laquon Treadwell have been uninspiring, at best. In 2017, Corey Davis, Mike Williams, and John Ross failed to overwhelm as rookies.

Of course, 2014 provided a major exception to the trend, with Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham Jr., Brandin Cooks, and Kelvin Benjamin each performing at a high level, even through three of them were traded, with one traded twice.

As it relates to Coleman, the change of scenery that would come from a trade could be a welcome development. And so we’ll see whether the Browns get a “decent offer” for his services at some point before training camps open.

Based on Coleman’s first two years, a “decent offer” could be the Browns giving another team a draft pick to take his remaining guaranteed money off the books.

Why would they? They would get nothing for him and he's on a rookie deal.

If Coleman learns to catch the ball. Learns to run a route and can go 16 games without pulling a hammy or breaking a bone along with not havig his posse beat someone up, he could be our best receiver.
