Corey Coleman seems like a nice addition.

I would like to see him get more time on offense in place of Fowler. It is too small of a sample size to get excited but so far he has flashed. Let's just hope that Coleman and Jamon Brown are long term additions to this team because that would go a long way towards turning this franchise around.

..he was a first round pick only 2 years ago

Good point made by the OP. Coleman has been a good addition.

I think they tried Davis on a couple, but mostly Henderson.

but he's been doing a very good job with them.

think you summarized his contributions. He's probably a KO returner, and part time WR, which is fine.

To our KO returns. Good speed. Nice low-risk gamble by the FO.

It will be interesting what tender is extended.

They could tender him at the lowest level which happens to be the round in which the player was drafted. There are 3 options.
A 1st round tender which is 2.879 million
A 2nd round tender which is 2.023 million
The lowest tender determined by draft status at 1.323 million.
The Giants could benefit from this rule as they would save 1.556 million by tendering him at the lowest level while receiving the same compensation if he were signed. There is no way any team would sign Coleman anyway but the Giants will make out well here.

He will help at WR. He’s a strong runner. He should be out there on offense more in the next few weeks.

I believe in Coleman.

Thanks. Let's hope the light continues to stay on for the rest of the season. Another year at a reasonable tender will extend the "tryout".

deserves a legit shot at the #3 receiver slot for next year.

earlier this season. The talent has always been there, but in his brief Giants time he seems to have his head on right when it comes to returns and routes. Catching what’s thrown to him, and showing some burst returning the ball instead of dancing around the way other guys try to do

I am not saying that he has figured it out yet but perhaps going to a stable organization like the Giants is just what he needed.

but so far he is doing well in the limited role we have carved out for him. Maybe next year he can start as a WR if he learns the offense.

Going to be lacking return opportunities next week against the Eagles..

Strong kick returner and can function as a 4/5 th WR

Don't discount the ego check from his ordeal as being a huge motivation to put in the work necessary to continue his dream. As a highly touted first round pick, he had natural talent but the knock on him was that he wasn't fully vested in learning the playbook/film study/etc. He was able to get by on his natural talent and was essentially on a first round scholarship. He wasn't forced to do the work to retain his scholarship. Having been traded to Buff. was likely a huge blow to his ego. He was no longer on scholarship and was forced to learn a new playbook/culture/etc. When that opportunity was lost, he was picked up on waivers by the Pats. Again another reality check that nothing is guaranteed and he is close to having his dream come to an end. Then being waived in favor of Josh and then having to settle for a practice squad is another gut check. When he was waived the final time, it had to have been an extremely humbling experience to go from a promising 1st round draft pick on scholarship to settling for a spot on a practice squad to not having a job in just a few months. Finally getting another opportunity with us, it might just be the last opportunity for him to resurrect his dream. Akin to an addict, they can't recover until they hit rock bottom. Coleman has experienced his "rock-bottom" and hopefully, it is the motivation to keep his dream alive. I'll be rooting for him.

is not worth 1.3 mill. He would be luckey to make 700k.
