Cornerback Justin Coleman is heading to Miami.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Coleman has agreed to the terms on a one-year contract with the Dolphins. Coleman’s pact is worth up to $ 2.75 million.
He joins quarterback Jacoby Brissett, running back Malcolm Brown, bookmaker Michael Palardy and tight end Cethan Carter as new additions in Miami.
Coleman was released by the Lions this month. He had 84 tackles, an interception, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 27 games for Detroit in the past two months.
Coleman began his NFL career with the Patriots and played for a former New England assistant at Matt Patricia while he was with Lions. He will meet with another former Patriots assistant at coach Brian Flores.
