Browns Urged to Sign Former Pro Bowl WR Following Amari Cooper Injury

Just In: Browns are being urged to sign a former Pro Bowl wide receiver to restore….

The Cleveland Browns need to add some depth to their passing game and former New York Giants receiver Kenny Golladay has been highlighted as a potential late-season addition for the AFC North contender.

The Giants cut Golladay in March after an unimpressive two-year stay in New York. After signing a four-year, $72 million deal, the former Pro Bowl pass catcher managed just 43 catches for 602 yards over 26 games with the Giants.

Golladay had some tryouts ahead of the season but has not played for a team this year. The 2019 touchdown receptions leader was pitched as a potential addition for the Browns to look into by Bleacher Report.

“If the Browns are going to find some success on offense down the back stretch, it’s going to be because of the supporting cast around Thompson-Robinson,” Bleacher Report wrote. “The rookie has some positive traits, but he’s only going to be as good as the players around him. Right now, the Browns are really banged up at receiver, and the healthy players outside of Amari Cooper are relatively young.

“The outisde options are limited, but Kenny Golladay has a 1,000-yard season on his resume. He was a bust with the New York Giants, but he’d at least be worth a workout right now.”

Golladay could give Thompson-Robinson — or Joe Flacco — a veteran pair of hands to rely on and his 6-foot-4 frame would be solid in the red zone. He has 22 career touchdown grabs — 11 of those coming during the 2019 season.
