WR Corey Coleman is going to re-sign with the Giants, per source. A one-year deal after tearing his ACL last summer.
Cool....I had high hopes for him.

Pretty solid kick returner

Good signing IMO.
Really happy about this  
BigBlueNH : 3/23/2020 2:52 pm : link
he looked good in preseason last year and seemed super-motivated. If Shep's concussions prove a continuing problem (sure hope not), and CC plays well, he could see alot of snaps this year, perhaps even start on the outside. We could use his over-the-top speed.
yup real good low risk/high upside singing  
Eric on Li : 3/23/2020 2:56 pm : link
hopefully he's the 2020 Breshad Perriman. Even if he's just a good returner and occasional deep threat opposite Slayton that's a useful player.

“ EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants and wide receiver Corey Coleman have reached an agreement on a one-year contract, according to a report by Jordan Raanan of ESPN.
Coleman, a 5-11, 185-pounder, is entering his fifth NFL season and third with the Giants. He missed the entire 2019 season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in the first full-squad training camp practice on July 25. Coleman was placed on injured reserve two days later.
A 2016 first-round draft choice by the Cleveland Browns, Coleman joined the Giants' practice squad on Oct. 18, 2018 and was signed to the active roster one week later. He played in eight games with one start - Dec. 23 at Indianapolis – and caught five passes for 71 yards, with a long reception of 30 yards. Coleman also led the 2018 Giants with 23 kickoff returns for 598 yards (26.0-yard avg), with a long of 51 yards and had one punt return for 19 yards.
Coleman has played in 27 regular-season games with 19 starts for the Browns and the Giants. His career totals include 61 catches for 789 yards (12.9-yard avg.) and five touchdowns. Coleman also has three rushing attempts for 15 yards, 23 kickoff returns for 589 yards (26.0-yard avg.) and two punt returns for 19 yards.”

It normally takes 2 years to fully heal an ACL ...  
Manny in CA : 3/23/2020 2:56 pm : link

That doesn't mean I'm not rooting hard for him. We need someone to take the pressure off Slayton, nobody else on the team can (except maybe Engram); but that' a worn-out story.
Rooting for him  
thrunthrublue : 3/23/2020 2:57 pm : link
To be all grown up, serious and grateful.......coach judge’s team first concept demands all hands on deck, just need this damn virus to get cut!
Well one thing is clear from our signings thus far  
Jay in Toronto : 3/23/2020 3:09 pm : link
We're going to have a kick-a**special teams unit, especially if we also re-sign Thomas.

2 years? That sounds like it might be wrong, or at least outdated.
some players take time to come back some don't - AP broke records  
Eric on Li : 3/23/2020 3:33 pm : link
like 8 or 9 months post ACL tear. It all depends on the specifics of the players injury and how they heal.
This team has the potential to have a really good ST unit,  
Dave in Hoboken : 3/23/2020 3:34 pm : link
if nothing else.
Good, glad they are giving him another shot  
ZogZerg : 3/23/2020 3:40 pm : link
Hopefully his recovery went well.
He was hurt early, so he will have had over a year before the season starts.

We're all pulling for good ol' ratface.
Kinda pointless as you can't trust him with injuries  
Torrag : 3/23/2020 4:15 pm : link
10 games in 2016
9 games in 2017
8 games in 2018
0 games in 2019.

Injured players get injured.
Good  
AcidTest : 3/23/2020 4:22 pm : link
move. He is a good KR, and could still blossom as a downfield WR.

Just saw Steven Godtkowski was being released by Pat's. Good bet JJ brings him in for competition
Good for Corey  
Jim in Tampa : 3/23/2020 4:35 pm : link
It's doubtful that Coleman will ever come close to the potential that others saw in him, but he's run into some bad luck as well.

He deserves a chance to prove himself and I'm glad the Giants are giving him another shot.
Deep WR draft  
LBH15 : 3/23/2020 4:57 pm : link
which will also convert to a deep UDFA listing of WRs. So not sure if Coleman sticks.

Hope he can be a contributor but seems unlikely.

SLIM_ : 3/23/2020 5:52 pm : link
I don't think many of his absences were related to injuries.
He was a heck of a KO return man.  
yatqb : 3/23/2020 6:11 pm : link
I don't see why he couldn't win that job again. And he has speed to burn.
re: Gotowski  
DavidinBMNY : 3/23/2020 6:43 pm : link
Some former NE coach is likely to snag him. Very reliable for a long time. I could see him in Miami.

Doubtful because of the price. The Giants will bring in another kicker to give Rosas some competition but it will likely be an UDFA after the draft.
The coaching staff was talking up Corey Coleman  
Jay on the Island : 3/23/2020 7:35 pm : link
last offseason.
Sorry I hit submit too early  
Jay on the Island : 3/23/2020 7:37 pm : link
The Coaching staff praised Corey Coleman several times last offseason. It could have been a motivational tactic but I am excited to see him in training camp and the preseason. If the light has suddenly gone on for him then that would be a great development for the Giants.

At least he is a very good return man but let's hope that he can contribute on offense as well because his speed will be a welcomed addition.
I was big on Rosas 2 years ago  
Matt M. : 3/24/2020 1:06 am : link
and did not want to give up on him after one season. But, now 3 seasons in and 2 were dreadful. Why would we have any confidence the 1 good season is what to expect and not the 2 bad ones? I'm not saying cut him just yet, not at his salary. But, I sure as shit want some competition and a short leash.
SLIM in 2016 and 2017...  
Torrag : 3/24/2020 1:34 am : link
He broke his right hand.

Blew out his ACL in 2019.

Call it brittle. Call it bad luck. Some guys just can't get it figured out.
He was a star in the KO return game  
JFIB : 3/24/2020 7:49 am : link
So I'm excited to give him a shot at that spot again.

.

Two years ago, missed one FG all year, made the Pro Bowl.
Last year, made about 75 % of his kicks, not dreadful,
but not up to snuff. Also, DeOssie didn't help matters
with some of his snaps, I wouldn't give up on Rosas.
Just bring in someone to compete with him.
Excited to see him return kicks again  
Jim in Forest Hills : 3/24/2020 9:05 am : link
thought he would be terrific in that regard last year. I also think he's matured greatly from his interviews since he left CLE.
The positive here is that he tore the ACL in mid July ...  
Spider56 : 3/24/2020 9:26 am : link
If he starts the season on PUP, and comes back On Nov 1, that’s nearly 16 months after the injury ...
Read what Golden Tate said about Coleman the day of the injury.  
Spider56 : 3/24/2020 9:43 am : link
He completed practice with the torn ACL ... That’s a tough dude.

true, usually, but not always, Jesse Armstead overcame injuries...just sayin

Personally, I like CC
Count me in as a HUGE BELIEVER IN CC  
5BowlsSoon : 3/24/2020 3:45 pm : link
very happy about this signing. He and Ebner are two great low end signings that will pay off for us, especially if CC can stay healthy.
