Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN.com's John Clayton, both sides still have to work on the language of the contract and the guarantees, but the money figures were acceptable to Coles. For Coles, it was a victory. He turned down a $6 million guaranteed salary from the Jets. To obtain his freedom, Coles voided the final year of his Jets contract and became a free agent. The 31-year-old Colts caught 631 passes during his nine-year career with the Jets. He had 8,095 yards and 44 touchdown receptions during his career in New York.
