I like Coleman the player, but he's a depth guy from a successful team. Signing those type of players to big deals is pretty much the anti-Championship method of roster management.

There's a reason why guys like Goodrow/Coleman get let go by the championship teams. You just can't afford to pay big salaries for support pieces. Tampa spent a 1st round pick to get Coleman at his low cap-hit for two years, and are now (apparently) refusing to pay him a bigger salary.

I'm not saying it would be bad, but it likely wouldn't be good.
