The Patriots are adding some help to their depleted receiving corp, signing Corey Coleman according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (Twitter link). They are also adding receiver Bennie Fowler, Field Yates posted in a follow up tweet. 
Coleman, a first round pick of the Browns back in 2016, had been looking for a new home since the Bills released him at final cuts. The Browns had traded him to Buffalo earlier this offseason for a conditional seventh round pick.
Coleman was always high on talent, but fell out of favor quickly with the coaching staff and new front office regime in Cleveland. The speedster flashed at times, but struggled with hand injuries during both of his seasons with the Browns. He only had a couple of weeks to practice with the Bills, and couldn’t make an impression quick enough to crack the team even on a squad with one of the league’s weakest receiving corps.
The Patriots are very thing at wide receiver, with few proven options behind Chris Hogan while they await Julian Edelman’s return from suspension. It’s a smart, no risk move for New England who will get a chance to develop the first round talent. He’ll slide in behind Hogan, Phillip Dorsett, and Cordarelle Patterson on the depth chart for now.
Fowler came into the league as an undrafted free agent with the Broncos in 2014. He signed with the Bears in April, but didn’t make their initial 53-man roster.
He’s annoying. Not sure if he will last there
“What? Hey, wait…” – Dez Bryant
Looking more and more likely he wont be playing in 2018.
No, that scumbag will somehow make out in all of this. A key wide receiver will be hurt on a playoff contending team and somebody will sign him.
Here’s hoping the last few months have humbled him a little. Talent is there. Hoping the attitude is too.
Watch he’s gonna go from playing with the second string guys and getting cut to putting up Moss type numbers. Not really but I wouldn’t be surprised if he puts up better numbers the next few weeks than he did in Cleveland.
any receiver is better with tom brady throwing them the ball
If anyone can save his career it’s Tom Brady. If he gets cut from here he might as well join the Canadian league.
Either way hes prob cut again when Julian returns.
Dez in shambles
Good luck with that.
Dez still doesn’t understand that the league sees him as a declining player. He should’ve signed a 1-year prove-it deal with the Pats in May. He was never going to get paid anywhere near what he got in Dallas. His best case scenario was to improve his value for 2019.
Dez wants a 1 year contract and turned down multi year offers
If I’m the Patriots I would be looking to make a pre-emptive strike before next years free agency season and try to land Larry Fitzgerald. Fitz is a lock as a future Hall of Famer and probably wants to close out his career with the Cardinals but the Patriots would provide him the best chance of getting that ring he lacks so it would be at least worth testing those waters from New England’s point of view.
