Report: WR coach Adam Henry leaves Cleveland Browns, joins Dallas Cowboys staff

The Cleveland Browns are now in the market for a receivers coach after Adam Henry departs to join the Dallas Cowboys' staff.

CLEVELAND — New Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has yet to announce the assistants that will compose his inaugural staff, but there are at least two openings on the offensive side of the ball that need to be filled in short order.

After it was announced that former offensive coordinator Todd Monken left the Browns to take a similar role with the University of Georgia, ESPN NFL Nation reporter Todd Archer reported that wide receivers coach Adam Henry has left Cleveland to take the same job with the Dallas Cowboys.

“Henry talked with the Cowboys this week about the opening to replace Sanjay Lal who was under contract for two more years,” Archer posted to Twitter.

During the 2019 season with the Browns, Henry had a reunion with two former players from his time at Louisiana State University, receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr., and although there were struggles to get consistent production from the Pro Bowl-caliber talents, both surpassed the 1,000-yard mark.

Landry and Beckham Jr. finished the season Nos. 1 and 2 on the team in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns among wide receivers.

Landry converted his 83 receptions into 1,174 yards, a 14.1 yards-per-reception average and a team-best six touchdowns, while Beckham Jr. gained 1,035 yards and scored four touchdowns on his 74 catches. Beckham Jr. averaged 14.0 yards per reception.

Landry earned Pro Bowl status for the fifth straight season and second consecutive year since joining the Browns through a trade with the Miami Dolphins and signing a lucrative long-term contract extension during the 2018 offseason.

A native of Beaumont, Texas, Henry will work for his fifth team in the National Football League, including the Oakland Raiders (2007-2011), San Francisco 49ers (2015), New York Giants (2016-2017), Browns (2018-2019) and Cowboys (2020).
