Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Texans have claimed WR Sammie Coates off of waivers from the Browns on Friday.
Coates, 25, is a former third-round pick of the Steelers back in 2015. He’s currently in the final year of his four-year, $3 million contract and set to make a base salary of $705,000 for the 2017 season.
The Steelers traded Coates to the Browns last year for a 2018 sixth-round pick. Cleveland elected to waive Coates on Thursday along with a number of players.
In 2017, Coates appeared in 12 games for the Browns and caught six passes for 70 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
