I did hear that he got some kind of performance-based pay from the NFL last year, but I don't think he should immediately be talking about getting a new contract. I'm a big believer in honoring the contract that you signed. Now if it gets to be the season before his contract runs out, and he's still performing at the kind of level he did last season yet getting paid like a 7th rounder, then yes, I think the Saints should listen. But until then, I think he needs to honor what he signed. And it's not just him (even though I doubt that Colston is even the kind of guy to pull that kind of crap), I feel the same way with every player, i.e. Will Smith.

I was just wondering. He really helped out last year and is a popular player and we're better off when all our players are happy. If Meachem comes in and is making 10 times what Marques is before catching his first pass, it could be something that would bother Marques. I'm just thinking out loud. I'm sure Saint's managment knows what it's doing.
