 I thought this was a joke. This is crazy. And great for us! 

 I’m sure it’s structured where he won’t see that much, but even the 6.5 first year is more than I’d give him for 3 years.

That's a lot of money for outdated Intel.

Panthers' fans don't seem too concerned

I've came across a lot of Panthers' fans giving mad props to Coleman. Now that he has agreed to become a Saint, of course the majority of Carolina fans will start to make it sound like Coleman is a chump.

Via saints board.
Even when Coleman had those 7 interceptions in 2015 I don't exactly recall anyone saying he was good, just decent and the ball happened to fall right into his hands a lot, he made a couple good plays that were forced because of the pressure our front was getting on the QB and Norman being out there. How is anyone being salty when everyone here has been calling for him to be cut since the end of last year? These guys really think Coleman is that guy. No one here has ever claimed to have thought Coleman was good even when he was having a good season. I saw more people claiming he was a product of the system and the rest of the defense that fit in nicely.

Saints could use Coleman in our 2015 form and leave Lattimore as their Norman and watch him feast 

Yeah. Definitely more than I expected. Wondering how it's structured and how they plan to use him. Would assume it's gonna be as the 3rd safety allowing Bell to play in the box on TEs and slot guys.

Saints can't develop anyone so they sign our sloppy seconds.

[PleaseCutStewart]

Hope the Saints plan to put him at SS for 8 in the box formations, because he is practically useless in coverage.

Didn’t Gettleman sign him to 3 year 18 million after 2015?

  The KEY being after 2015. And even then, after by far his best season, many of us questioned the contract then. The more he played, the more his coverage limitations became exposed. Other teams started to attack him. 

  This signing, for that amount, is horrible.

But but but, salary cap hell. Saints can't possibly sign anyone

 They are basically choosing him over Vaccaro. Not a good trade IMO. 

 And they have 18M dead cap hit they have to roll into Brees new contract on top of what they pay him to play this year.  Which makes committing to a player like Coleman even more baffling.

There's no way they're paying him that much to have a smaller role like that. He'll be an every down starter. Otherwise it's a ridiculously stupid deal for that much money, and it's probably overpaying even as a starter. Kurt was not great this year but he did have some injuries and the rest of the secondary was bad too. And one thing I'll say is this dude is the hardest working MFer on the team, no matter what team he's on. Every day at TC before the 2015 season he was first on the field by far and last one off. Hopefully for us we'll grab a wideout this year (Ridley, Watkins, other FA or draft pick, etc.) who will be able to easily walk all over Coleman like many NFCS receivers did against him with us. He was great in '15, slightly above average in '16 and slightly below average last year. Remains to be seen what you'll get out of him.
