DE Coleman reunites with Ryan in New Orleans

Where Rob Ryan goes, Kenyon Coleman will follow.

The former Dallas Cowboys defensive end agreed Friday to sign a contract the the New Orleans Saints, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He'll join Ryan, who was fired by the Cowboys after the season and landed with the Saints as their defensive coordinator.

Coleman also played for Ryan with the Cleveland Browns for two seasons.

Earlier this week, the Saints signed former Cowboys linebacker Victor Butler to a two-year deal.

Coleman's 2012 season was cut short by injuries. He played in seven games and started five, posting 22 tackles. He missed two games with a knee injury and was placed on injured reserve in November with a triceps injury.
