Three reasons the Cleveland Browns traded Corey Coleman
By Dan Justik
The Cleveland Browns made the move to get rid of Corey Coleman, but what were the biggest reasons to get rid of the third-year wide receiver?
Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey has made it obvious that he was not a fan of the players that the previous Browns regimes acquired.
Dorsey even made it a point after he was hired to say that the previous regime did not acquire real players. It could easily have been a reference about Sashi Brown acquiring many draft picks instead of players, but it could also have been a slight towards the actual players Brown acquired.
The trade of Corey Coleman was another instance of Dorsey moving on from a player that was acquired by Brown. It has almost been a theme since Dorsey took over as general manager.
The Browns traded Coleman to the Buffalo Bills for a 2020 seventh-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
For a former first-round pick, it was surprising that the Browns could not get more value. Granted Coleman has not played well on the field, but he is still a young player that teams could develop.
The move has created a lot of questions as to why the Browns would move on from a 24-year-old receiver for very little return.
Here’s a look at three biggest potential reasons why Cleveland moved on from Coleman.
