There have been many pundits speculating as to how the New Orleans Saints will get additional cap space to be players in free agency. Well, the Saints have found one way:
The #Saints are releasing S Kurt Coleman, source says. The team will keep the door open to his potential return later but he was due $5.5m in total compensation this season and that figure was too high for them.

This will unfortunately go in the books as another free agency “bust” of Mickey Loomis and the Saints front office.
