Report: Kenyon Coleman Joining Rob Ryan in New Orleans

Ryan took over as the Saints defensive coordinator back in February

Veteran defensive end Kenyon Coleman will reportedly become the second Cowboys free agent to follow defensive coordinator Rob Ryan to New Orleans.

A report on ProFootballTalk.com on Monday said that Coleman has signed an offer from the Saints and will ship it to them overnight to make the deal--which was initially reported on Friday--official. Linebacker Victor Butler joined Ryan and the Saints last week.

Ryan was fired as the Cowboys defensive coordinator back on January 9 and agreed to take over the New Orleans defense a month later. He and Coleman originally worked together with the Cleveland Browns in 2009.

In 2012, Coleman finished with 15 tackles and a forced fumble through seven games. His season was cut short by a torn triceps suffered in November.
