Smart, high IQ player. Instinctive like MJenkins was.

Solid depth. Mentor (co captain in Carolina)- > He'll push the young guys. I think Raphael Bush (FA) could be gone.

Nice move by the Saints FO if you ask me. Quality depth (see Philly) is the key here.

If Coleman is healthy, he is good. Period. He will help us. He has very good ball skills. He can cover a TE and most RBs. He can tackle.He's a smart, savvy veteran. Kenny Vaccarro doesn't have any 9 pick seasons. Coleman does and he's not old. He'll look great in Black and Gold! If we could pull off Tyrann Mathieu too.................We can always dream. If we signed Mathieu Id be buyin my first NFL jersey immediatetly. At the NFL combine, Deion Sanders claimed that hands down Tyrann Mathieu had better ball skills than any other player in the draft. Yea. He could be a nice piece. If he's your nickel corner, you're feeling pretty good. In theory don't we hope our starting safeties are Bell ans Williams. Im sold on Marcus Williams. He is awesome. Are we sold on Von Bell?

Major pretty much nailed it - This is a great, great value signing and he's a safety that can give you good coverage...

I was really surprised Coleman chose to sign this early, especially with his starting experience...

Maybe he saw first-hand with the Panthers how close we are to that Superbowl Title?

Playing in the SuperDome in a playoff game can leave an impression...then again, he played at Ohio State -

I'm not big on the Coleman signing either

At 6.5 million this year he better be more than solid depth. I hope his 2017 year was a fluke. I’d still bring back Bush it would provide 4 safeties that could start at any given time. Another spot for BPA in the draft.

Heading into Free Agency, Kurt is the 18th highest paid safety in the NFL. That's a bargain & yes he will see some starter snaps.

Saints FO have yet to go wrong with former Carolina or Ohio State players.

Utah_Saint · 03-03-2018, 04:23 PM

That's alotta money for "depth".

JPPT1974 · 03-03-2018, 04:45 PM

Good luck to him and glad he signed. Hope he can bring it out.
