Justin Coleman leaves Seahawks for Lions

The first major Seattle Seahawks free agent to depart the team appears to be slot cornerback Justin Coleman.

Coleman, who’d been a very effective member of Seattle’s secondary after joining the team via trade in 2017, is now on the cusp of getting a major contract from the Detroit Lions that would make him the NFL’s highest paid nickel corner. This is from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
