We got our Justin Gilbert 6th round pick back and gave up Coates and a 7th round pick in 2019.

When Ju Ju was drafted and they brought Hunter in it was insurance for Bryant that then put Coates in jeopardy
IMO the coaches did not like how Coates handled adversity after he was injured in the 2016 Jets game- Ben was loud and clear what he thought about the young receivers after the AFC championship loss
I like it. Completely undid giving up a 6th for Justin f-ing Gilbert. Likely even end up trading in the 6th round
Good move.
Coates is very soft, and has no hands. If he isn't absolutely wide open, he's not going to catch the ball. DB's also easily force him to the sideline. He also did not fight for the ball.
I can't get what Coates did to open the season out if my head. If he's that guy, the Browns just robbed the Steelers blind.
But all signs point to him not being that. If Hunter makes the roster, also pissed. The whole NFL knows Hunter isn't that guy. Why would he change now?

I doubt Coates will do anything in Cleveland anyway

It sounds to me like he was getting cut and they were just looking to get something for him. I liked when we drafted him and liked his potential but he never showed the toughness and attitude that I expected out of him. I also expected his hands to improve but they got worse.

I'm torn too........ but that guy from the first 5 games will probably never be seen again. At least not in Cleveland where there's no QB.
Coates is a slot machine. He either pays off once and a while or keeps taking your money often for no payout.
The knocks on him before the draft was inconsistent hands and doesn't track the deep ball well. You could see in his NFL combine workout that he wasn't a natural catcher of the football and "fought the catch" often. If he improved his hands, then he had a real chance to be a productive WR, but I just don't think that is going to happen consistently. What we saw those first few games is the potential that could be if he works on his hands and stays healthy, but I think JuJu and Hunter are better insurance for Bryant if he starts smoking the hippie lettuce again. Good move to get a pick for somebody that you were going to release.

So it was Coates AND a 7 in 2019 for a 6 in 2018.......

Better to let the Browns have him for a 6th, than to cut him out right and let Flacco throw moon balls to him against us.

Wasn't he originally a 2nd round pick? We lost overall on the deal.
All Defense!

Ok now who returns kicks? Knile, Frenchy, Coates gone.
Take a Knee!..This is the only thing that I will ask to the news KR...
Array title="tube517 has a reputation beyond repute">
Very true
That trade just sucks more the details emerge. Gave the Browns a borderline NFL wideout and a future 7th to get the Steelers own 6th rounder back?
Hopefully thats a low 6 - basically a high 7. Could've waited until draft day to pick up a 6th round pick for a future 7. No need to throw the player on top of it.
Not an argument for keepin Coates, but that return is barely anything. Ill trust the front office on this one, but it just doesn't look that good on paper.
Array title="DesertSteel has a reputation beyond repute">
He was obviously going to be a cut.
Sure. But what I don't get is that Coates, Hunter, and DHB are basically the same guy.
DHB has "veterans" I guess and Ive made that argument myself. Hunter just seems to not get any better ever. Coates was only a handful of games into his NFL career. He could still get better.
I guess I wish they could've pulled this same move off for Hunter instead of Coates. But what do I know?
Unless Coates hands are damaged goods, this was a bad trade.

To use some Tomlinisms, when Coates was handed the starter's job after Bryant was suspended the moment was too big for him and he blinked
Then he had the bad luck to get hurt when camp opened
The offseason moves showed the Steelers had little faith that Coates could ever be dependable and as this week's moves have shown are not in the mood to wait for improvement at any position
Coates was just an athlete who flashed in the pan for 5 games. He wasn't any good, and certainly Cleveland isn't going to get much of anything out of him
