This is funny because I picked him up in Madden after the 2014 season lol

Anyway, this guy can start at SS right now beside Boston.

Rotoworld seems to like the signing

 

Panthers signed S Kurt Coleman, formerly of the Chiefs, to a two-year contract.

The Chiefs signed Coleman off the scrap heap prior to Week 1 last season, and it turned out to be one of their best pickups. Coleman accounted for half the team's interceptions despite playing just 377 snaps. Capable of playing both safety spots, Coleman gives Carolina depth with Thomas DeCoud gone and Roman Harper aging.

Like I said

What I like is that he's a ballhawk. Had half the Chiefs' interceptions on limited snaps.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Love this signing good job Getts.

i like it, he's the kind of lightning in a bottle we need at safety. hopefully we can guide his aggression and keep him from getting injured. at the very least we've got a hard hitter on special teams which will be great.

[KillerKat]

he should also push boston.

 

these young dbs need to be pushed, they shouldn't think that because they were the starters last year at the end that they should feel comfortable. comfortability breeds complacency.

 

also good to hear that the dude sees we are building a perennial contender. i remember reading stuff that melvin and lester were complacent the offseason after 2013. weren't taking training seriously.

 

although both of our young dbs (bene and boston) are known to be very heady players

He doesn't have to push Boston. He can play beside him.

he plays both positions.

 

competition is always a good thing.

I think him and Boston on the field would be better than him and Harper.

probably. wont know until training camp. this dude might not even start and just play special teams

Cheifs only had 6 INTs last year? If so that's terrible. Coleman also looks like he can tackle his 2nd season he had 70+ tackles and 4 INTs then the season after that he had 90+ tackles. I don't think we've had a safety come close to those stats since Minter.

We seem to like Ohio State guys.  Brown, Norwell, Ginn, and now Coleman

 

Makes me wonder about the draft haha

I think he starts. He's faster and younger than Harper. He turns 27 in July.
