Former Detroit Lions nickel cornerback Justin Coleman found a home quite quickly this free agency period. Just five days after the Lions officially released the veteran defender, he has agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins on a one-year deal per Tom Pelissero.
For Coleman, it’s a new opportunity to prove he’s still a talented player after a couple of rough seasons in Detroit. Unfortunately for him, it’s a significant decrease in pay. In 2019, he signed a four-year, $36 million deal with the Lions and was set to have a base salary of $8.
