Colston will not take a hometown discount from the Saints

We won't be able to keep everyone. I'm guessing lot of names will be departing for a higher payday elsewhere even if it's on a losing team. Once Brees gets paid we might be left with nothing but rookies.

I have been thinking that about our offensive line; could Bushrod and Strief start on another contender not named the Packers?

With Roddy White and Julio Jones, not likely; he'll geaux to the Raiders or Seahawks.

Next Soldiers, please step forward; now we really get a look at our drafting/scouting prowess.

I like Colston as much as anyone, but there's no way we can give him that much money in N.O. Brees and Nicks are going to get HUGE MONEY!

And Colston deserves BIG money but the Saints can't afford him. Just hope and pray he's released way away from the Saints...

Or maybe we can work out a sign and trade, to an AFC team.

He may not get the money he thinks since he's had numerous knee surgeries and isn't getting any younger.

I'm sure we'll give him a fair offer.

Let him go get paid after he get us some more Jewelry.

Now you know why Brees's deal isn't done yet. Loomis is trying to figure out how to keep the core together

Dang, and I just got my new Colston jersey for Christmas

This is the problem with us lucking out with some of our late round picks like we did. They performed well for us cheap and will now command top money, sucks it seems like some big money contracts are all coming at the same time.

has Jimmy G(tall target with great hands) made colston a little more expendable? probably... but I still think that we need to keep him...give him a shorter deal with a good chuink of bling...then he will be playing for his next contract and we wont get stuck if he starts to break down physically...
