Look, you really only have three-four guys per position in the NFL, so versatility at multiple positions is where real value is...

Honey Badger was playing safety to likely justify the money committed...

But if you look at recent Cardinals nickel packages, Mathieu is covering in that slot...

He’s like Vacarro. Just way better.

I don’t know how I feel about Coleman though.

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.

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 -

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.

I'm not big on the Coleman signing either
