The Jaguars threw Allen Hurns on the free agent pile this week and it didn’t take long for his market to form. The Browns are among the clubs with interest, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, joining seven other previously reported suitors.
Hurns broke out with more than 1,000 yards receiving in 2015 behind Allen Robinson, but hasn’t topped 500 yards in each of the past two seasons. Apparently, teams believe that he can excel once again if he’s healthy and in a different offense. Hurns has missed 13 regular season games over the last two campaigns.
The Browns have expressed some interest in re-signing Terrelle Pryor, but right now he appears ticketed for the Jets or Seahawks. If the Browns add Hurns, he’ll be the team’s No. 3 wide receiver behind Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon. That’s a trio that would cause nightmare matchups for opposing defenses.
Hurns took his first visit with the Cowboys when the snow kept him from meeting with the Jets. He’ll attempt to meet with Gang Green on Thursday, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN.com (on Twitter).
1 year wonder
Corey Coleman was on the upswing before he got hurt, why does Cleveland need another WR?
I agree. Coleman is the target of the media, he’s not a bad WR whatsoever. He may need a change of scenery to excel, but from a skills standpoint, Coleman would be higher on the depth chart than Allen Hurns would be… it would help Coleman if he didn’t break his hand every year he’s been a professional. Coleman seems like a trade candidate. It’s probably a late round choice unfortunately.
Cause they have money to spend
Because he (Coleman) has been hurt every season since he’s been drafted. He can’t be counted on….
Because he’s always injured, he’s been good but not great when on the field, and most Browns fans will always remember him for dropping the pass in week 17 to clinch going 0-16
Because Coleman has just been implicated in the beating case that happened in his building.
Coleman is a WR4. Hurns has more talent. He’d be a good signing considering you really can’t trust Gordon yet.
True, but Hurns isn’t exactly guaranteed to be on the field either
“Hurns has missed 13 regular season games over the last two campaigns.”
You guys are funny… receivers don’t always become studs overnight usually takes 3 years to breakout. Nelson Agholor was going to be CUT and had 9 catches for 84 yards in the Super Bowl to compliment a breakout season with 700+yds and 8 TDs. Fan instant gratification is absurd. Hurns has shown you what exactly, that he was good in 2015?
“Browns have interest…” is kind of like saying “Man reading menu considers dish he is reading at that moment…”
