Several sources seem to be suggesting that Panthers have been negotiating with Kurt Coleman re: an extension to his contract.

Coleman may be next in line to receive a contract extension from the Carolina Panthers.

Coleman’s representatives and the Panthers have been in preliminary contract discussions since June and continue to “keep an open dialogue” moving forward, a league source said Tuesday.

The second-year Panther is in his final season of a two-year, $2.8 million base contract that pays Coleman a yearly average of $1.4 million with added yearly incentives.

Coleman tallied 53 tackles, nine passes defended and a team-high seven interceptions – tied for second in the National Football League – in 15 games at free safety last season for Carolina.

 

 

So Huddle, what do you think?  How much would you pay him if you were Gettleman?

Kurt Coleman is not going to be nearly as effective without a top CB to reduce the field he has to cover. Mistake to pay him any more than he is getting paid now. Should keep him at 1 and 2 year contracts.

He was burned quite a bit last season.

Man everyone gets burned.  

Kurt played awsome he deserves an extension.  

Its not easy covering roman harpers backside

"Quite a bit?" Nah.

He was solid by any measure. 

55 solo tackles, 35 Assists, 1 sack, and 7 INTs. We haven't had that kind of play at safety in a while. The INTs in particular are game changing. Three mil per year is a small price to pay for that production. Maybe even four depending upon garauntees and contract structure. A modest raise is in order, especially considering that we probably aren't going to do any better regarding value and experience in such an inexperienced secondary.

I'll put it this way: if we can get Coleman for 4 mil per year, for three or four years, it will be a good contract. Less than that is great!

All safeties get burned sometimes. Earl Thomas got burned last year a few times. Should the Seahawks cut him? GTFO of here.

    • Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?
    • Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade. 
    • Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
