METAIRIE, La. – The New Orleans Saints are bringing back receiver Brandon Coleman, a source confirmed, after they initially decided not to make him a qualifying offer as a restricted free agent last month.
The news was first reported by the NFL Network. Details of the contract were not immediately available – though it seems likely that Coleman will make less than the $1.9 million tender the Saints would have had to offer him last month.
Coleman, 25, is no lock to make the Saints’ roster, which has suddenly become overcrowded with wide receivers after the Saints signed restricted free agent Cameron Meredith last week.
