The NFL's New Orleans Saints are set to add yet another Buckeye to their roster, agreeing to terms with former Ohio State safety Kurt Coleman early Saturday morning, according to multiple reports.
According to reports from Nick Underhill of The New Orleans Advocate and ESPN's Adam Schefter, Coleman's contract with the Saints will be a three-year deal. According to a report from NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Coleman's deal is worth up to $18 million, and he will make $6.5 million in 2018.
Coleman, who played for the Buckeyes from 2006-09, spent the last three seasons with one of the Saints' NFC South rivals – the Carolina Panthers – before being released earlier this week.
With the reported addition of Coleman, the New Orleans Saints will now have five former Buckeyes on their roster, including three in their secondary – Marshon Lattimore, Vonn Bell and Coleman – along with wide receivers Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn. Coleman and Ginn were teammates at Ohio State during Ginn's final season with the Buckeyes in 2006.
