Browns' New Receiving Corps Ready for Showtime After Trading Corey Coleman

Inconsistency plagued his game. The coaching staff, meanwhile, grew tired of his approach, according to SI.com's Andy Benoit:

The Browns couldn't wait any longer for the talented, albeit underperforming, receiver to experience a breakthrough.
