No, Coleman has not developed into“the next Marques Colston”as many had hoped; in fact, he’s nowhere close.

The 4th year receiver from Rutgers has had issues with drops, struggled with his route running, and showed a clear lack of focus at this year’s training camp (after being a camp stud in 2015).

So, why in their right minds would the Saints entertain the idea of bringing the 24-year old back?

Coleman has certainly proven that he isn’t an ideal top 3 receiving option, he still has produced in situations that he hadn’t during the previous 3 years of his professional career.

Coleman has seemed to earn a degree of Drew Brees’ trust, particularly around the goal line. The fact that Coleman is only a restricted free agent at a tender of likely around $600,000 means that the Saints could keep Coleman in the mix to keep the continuity of a young and talented receiving corps very much a team strength.

However, they could also give someone else a chance to become the team’s #4 WR, someone that could be come much more dependable, especially in key situations…..

VERDICT: CUT HIM
