Is coleman a free agent next season

Would be a great question for @Miguel

Miguel · Nov 4, 2015

Coleman is signed through the 2015 season. He will be an ERFA next year which means that he has to accept the Patriots' tender offer in order to play next year.

Todd Bradley · Nov 4, 2015

So Coleman is pretty much signed through 2016 then if he's an ERFA.

Having Coleman, Butler, Roberts and Ryan next year is a great starting point. Add in a FA singing like Sean Smith and bring back Tarell Brown on a one year prove it deal, which he may be forced to take after going on IR, and we've got extremely good CB-depth for 2016.

Can you explain why Coleman is not an ERFA in 2017 since he will only have one accrued season after this year? I've looked at several sites and some have him as an ERFA next year and some have him signed through 2016.

Potentially a draft pick too, we should be in a good position in 2016.

I did not say that Coleman would not be an ERFA in 2017. He would be.

All I can say is that a source has told me that he is signed through 2016. It really does not matter if he is signed through 2015 or through 2016 since if through 2015 he will be an ERFA in March.

Outside of Melvin, do we have ANY DB's that are over 6'. and over 200lbs Even our safeties are in the 5'11 range. They are doing very well right now, better than we expected, but they will be giving 6 inches or more to a LOT of receivers this season. That could be a problem down the road.

BTW- I love the great 3 cone times they have. I am a big 3 cone guy myself. To me it is a much better indicator of NFL success than the 40. Quickness and acceleration are more important that speed.

Coleman is terrible.

Ken,
I would observe that the best CB is only 5'11''too. That is enough to compete IF the height reported is accurate. We had many reported 5'9" who were really 5-7 or 5-8.

Ok.....just to clarify so I can understand:

Let's assume that Coleman has signed a one year contract. So that takes care of 2015.

In 2016, he would be an ERFA? Now for 2017, would he be an ERFA again as well since he would have less than 3 accrued seasons? So is it possible to be an ERFA 2 seasons in a row?

Then in 2018 he would have 3 accrued seasons and therefore be a RFA, correct?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Yes.

Depends on your expectations. I don't want to see him starting, but he looks like a viable prospect to me.

An ERFA is a player with 0 to 2 accrued seasons
a RFA is a player with 3 accrued seasons
An UFA is a player with 4 or more season.

An accrued season is 6 games or more on the 53-man roster or on IR.

As long as he is better than Duane Stark or Marquis Cole, I will be elated.

At least he was given a half season to prove himself. I'm glad you didn't rush to judgement.

With the exception of Malcolm (and i question it now as his 40 time was way off) the thing I picked up on is in the past year or so NE is plucking DBs with outstanding vertical leap numbers.

Melvin- 38'
Coleman-37'
King 38'
Roberts 39'

I think they are still adhering to having sold 3 cone times but want guys who can sky and challenge high throws to taller receivers.

I like the front 7, but do not pretend the secondary is anything better than mediocre or bad. A team will decide to throw on the patriots and we will all hold our breath while hoping the front 7 can force the QB into a bad throw
