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.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
