Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys.
Coleman, 34, appeared in seven games (five starts) last season, recording 15 tackles and a forced fumble. He knows Rob Ryan's scheme and should add depth behind Cam Jordan and Akiem Hicks at defensive end. The Saints may also move Hicks to nose tackle. Coleman graded out very positively as a run stopper in Pro Football Focus' 2012 ratings. He's an early-down role player. Mar 29 - 3:27 PM

ESPN Dallas gives free agent LE Kenyon Coleman "slim" odds of returning to the Cowboys.

A bulky 6-foot-5, 306 pounds, the soon-to-be 34-year-old defensive end projects as a poor fit for new DC Monte Kiffin's 4-3 scheme. Limited to seven games by a torn triceps last season, Coleman was playing well before going down, and shouldn't hurt for one-year offers on the open market.

Cowboys LDE Kenyon Coleman (knee) has been ruled out for Monday night against the Bears.

Coleman also missed last week's game against the Bucs. He went into the offseason on the roster bubble after a disappointing first season in Dallas in 2011 and has responded with just two tackles so far this year. Marcus Spears will likely draw the start in Coleman's absence.

The Dallas Morning News believes Cowboys DE Kenyon Coleman should be "wondering about his job security."

Coleman was a disappointment his first season in Dallas, notching just 36 tackles and one sack in 16 games (15 starts) despite spending the previous two years in DC Rob Ryan's system in Cleveland. The Cowboys' official website has also suggested Coleman is a candidate for release. He's due $1.9 million.

The Cowboys' official website suggests DE Kenyon Coleman is a candidate to be released.

The Cowboys would save $1.9 million by releasing Coleman, and have quality depth in Marcus Spears and third-round pick Tyrone Crawford. Coleman, a career journeyman, appeared in all 16 games last season. Considering the Cowboys' current cap situation, he won't be guaranteed a roster spot.

Cowboys agreed to terms with DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Browns.

It's a natural fit after Coleman played last year under Rob Ryan. Coleman, 32, will battle second-year man Sean Lissemore for Dallas' No. 3 defensive end job behind Marcus Spears and Igor Olshansky. Coleman graded out in the middle of the pack of Pro Football Focus' 3-4 defensive end ratings last season.

Browns released DE Kenyon Coleman.

The most surprising of Cleveland's first round of offseason cuts, Coleman was a 16-game starter at left end in 2010, racking up 68 tackles to rank sixth on the team, and chipping in 2.5 sacks. A quality run defender, the 32-year-old (in April) was deemed a misfit for the Browns' new 4-3 scheme. Coleman probably has a year or two left as at least a rotational 3-4 end.

Robaire Smith and Kenyon Coleman have been the Browns' first-team defensive ends throughout training camp, as expected.

Ahtyba Rubin has been the nose tackle in the 3-4 while Shaun Rogers (leg) continues to recover. With Rogers and Smith both facing possible league discipline for gun charges, the Browns could be counting on unproven backups like Brian Schaefering and C.J. Mosley early in the season. It's a defense to attack in fantasy once again.

Browns DE Kenyon Coleman, who suffered an ankle injury on Sunday, has a better chance of playing in Week 17 than WR Brian Robiskie, who also suffered an ankle injury in the win.

This is according to coach Eric Mangini, who talked about the injuries in his Monday press conference. Coleman was on crutches after the game, so it may just be that both players will not play in the finale. Robiskie has just five catches in his first season out of Ohio State.
