Heading into FA, Kurt is ranked as the 20th highest paid safety in the NFL.

The Saints front office hardly over paid for a solid contributor.

Is Coleman a top 20 Safety in the league?

Based on last years #'s, probably not however he's versatile and can play both free AND the strong spot. Coach Allen stated he wants to be less predictable on D & Sean wants consistency at the position.

Kurt is a locker room leader and gives consistent effort. He'll be a key cog in 2018 defense. Saints coaches like his mental makeup because he's a smart player & weakens a divisional foe.

KC isn't great by any means but no worse than Kenny Vacarro and will cost a lot less.

Side note - his cap # is only 3.3M for 2018. That's a good number & a win for the Saints.
