Browns trade former 1st-round pick Corey Coleman to Bills
The Cleveland Browns have already given up on one of their former first-round picks.
Cleveland on Sunday traded Corey Coleman to the Buffalo Bills for a draft pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Cleveland is trading former first-round pick WR Corey Coleman to the Buffalo Bills for a draft pick, per source.
Coleman was the player the Browns selected after trading the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia so the Eagles could draft Carson Wentz.

Coleman was the team’s No. 15 overall selection in 2016 but has only played in 19 games due to injuries. He has 56 catches for 718 yards and five touchdowns in his two-year career.
The Browns, who are guided by a new GM and regime, reportedly have been dissatisfied with Coleman and have had questions about his work ethic. When you combine that with his injury history — he recently was bothered by a hamstring issue — as well as his less-than-perfect off-field record, it’s no surprise the team shipped him out.
