Franchise Colston?
 

Do you think Saints will franchise Colston..since his contract is almost up..? or long term.

He is a beast and will be a top 5 WR each year

Benson needs to give him a BIG payraise this year!

Re: Franchise Colston?
 

Why? We already committed to paying the guy more money than last years #1. I still can not believe we were stupid enough to paint ourselves into that corner. Colston will get top 10 pay without a doubt. He is in the same league as TJ huch?,,old whats his name. They will have to pay him. Performance money will put him over the top.

Re: Franchise Colston?
 

He'll get an extension during the offseason and will be a Saint for a very long time. He definately deserves it.

Co-sign. What ever it takes to keep him, but nothing too crazy that'll screw up our cap. Plus, there's not a HUGE market for WRs. Not like there is for QBs (starting and back-up). As far as other competive teams that have a realistic change of winning a Superbowl with him - Eagles (if the keep McNabb), Seahawks, maybe San Deigo if Chris Chambers doesn't step it up, maybe Tampa Bay since Galloway's getting old (although he doesn't look it against us), and maybe Cinny if the trade Chad. But he doesn't want to go somewhere like San Fran or Carolina where, yeah, they'll use him, but they won't win a lot of games.

10 year deal? lol

I am sorry but without the WR's you spell disaster for a team long term unless your QB is just absolutely the best in the business.

I think he deserves a top 8-5 WR money without a doubt.

Re: Franchise Colston?
 

This is one of the few that the front office needs to do whatever it takes to keep. Let him continue to grow with Brees. They're good now, in two or three years by playing together they'll be great.

Re: Franchise Colston?
 

It's a little too soon to be talking about the franchise tag for Colston. He still has two more seasons before he can become an UFA. If I was calling the shots, I would be in serious negotiations on a contract extension with him, once this season is over. No need to panic though, neither the Saints or Colston has to do anything soon.

Re: Franchise Colston?
 

you 're right, but i'd like to see the front office at least start letting him know that if he continues this type of play we want to see him in a Saints uniform for a very long time.
