Coleman, a safety who signed with the Vikingslast week, accepted a deal in Minnesota that pays a salary this year of $900,000, with nothing guaranteed. Coleman said both the Colts and the Jets offered him some guaranteed money, and that he got one offer with a higher base salary as well. 

 

I am pretty confident the Colts were the team to offer Coleman the higher contract.

Good. Grigs might have messed around and tried to make him a starter lol.

doesn't hurt my feelings

Colt Anderson sounds better as a Colt anyways

Music to my ... eyes.

I'm fine with bad players turning us down, good players don't.

Let's see.....

 

Coleman had better offers....   including at least one from a team (likely the Colts)  whose GM knows him and likes him which would increase his chances of being on the roster....   and we're much, much more likely to end up in the playoffs than the Vikings who continue to have serious QB problems.

 

I'm not sure this decision was though-through all that well......

Glad he didn't end up here honestly. Didn't want bias to end up making our pass defense awful.

He didn't want to face Trent in practice

[PrincetonTiger]

Not sure why he did this?

Not mad about this at all, No need for a player that is Mediocre at best and prefers playing for a team likely to not make the playoffs.
