The #Saints and veteran S Kurt Coleman agreed to terms on a 3-year deal worth up $18M, source said. He gets a sizeable $6.5M in year 1.

Welcome to the team. Veteran depth is important. Coleman had a subpar season in 2017. Was it his knee?

This officially means KV is out.

Thoughts?

Not watched many non Saint games in the last 2 years so not quite as up on players at the moment. Swapping to night shifts in May so will be watching loads of games next year


6ml a year
The front office must really like him

Great signing, great depth - very fortunate for this to have fallen into our laps...

Now, let's get some more help, depth for that defense, Free Agents the Saints need to have a conversation:

LB Tahir Whitehead

LB Zach Brown

DE Muhammad Wilkerson

DE Adrian Clayborn

DE Brent Urban

NT Dontari Peo

CB Morris Claiborne

CB Rashaan Melvin

CB Patrick Robinson

CB Aaron Colvin

And with Honey Badger CB Tyrann Mathieu possibly hitting the market, that helps the price on DB Lamarcus Joyner who'd be solid in the slot...

I get the idea of trying to get Honey Badger if he gets released but its a no for me.
Fantastic player but i think the money can be used better elsewhere.

Now don't get me wrong I'd be egstatic to see him in a Saints Jersey.

That about sums up how I feel...

With the Honey Badger, think it's a wait and see how his market comes together, then decide as to how much of your cap you can commit...

The Saints know if they trust Ken Crawley there or not - that's the question only the guys in the Saints' sanctum sanctorum know the answer...

Committing that much money to Honey Badger will be a tell about their confidence in Crawley, and as well as their outlook on Del Breaux, P.J. Williams...

Amazing that in just two years, we could have either Breaux or P.J. Williams as our No. 5 cornerback, and that will be before the draft gets here...

Rock on Ireland!!!

He’s been a safety most of his NFL career.

Yeah, I understand that, but his strength is as a cover in the slot...

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.
