The Cleveland Browns have hired Adam Henry to be their new wide receivers coach, as first reported by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
#Giants WRs coach Adam Henry signed a 3-year deal with the #Browns, per his agent Rocky Arceneaux. Cleveland hopes the former #LSU WRs coach who worked so well with Odell Beckham does the same for Josh Gordon.

What does that mean for Al Saunders? Not much. His was already a senior offensive assistant the past two years for head coach Hue Jackson, but Cleveland also gave him the label of receivers coach. Now, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal says that Saunders will “transition into a senior advisory role.”
As for Henry, he has worked as the wide receivers coach for the New York Giants over the past two years. Back in 2011, he was the tight ends coach for the Oakland Raiders (back when Jackson was their head coach).
