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.

      I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
