Report: Panthers, Kurt Coleman agree to extension

The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms with safety Kurt Coleman on a three-year contract extension, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

He is expected to sign the deal Wednesday. Terms have yet to be reported.

The 28-year-old's seven interceptions last season was tied for third-most in the NFL.

His agent has been engaged in contract talks throughout the offseason, but Coleman was previously unfazed by the idea of playing under his current deal.

"I respect everyone that’s involved in the process and I’m trusting that both sides are going to do what’s right and what’s fair," Coleman said in early July. "Honestly, it’s out of my hands. My job isn’t to negotiate. I probably wouldn’t be that good at it. My personal feelings might get (involved). I just control what I can control."

Coleman is expected to be a starter again next season.
