Jeff Duncan thinks he's getting a "veteran's vacation" and just being allowed to sit out of these drills, but I'm concerned there might be more to it. Is it possible that Colston is a hold out? He is in the last year of his deal.

Man I really hope Colston has a good season. I could see him snag 90 balls for 1200yds and 10tds if he just can stay healthy.

Start calling that man "Broken". I don't think this bodes well for him - BUT should up the worth of Moore, Henderson & Meechum
