He is NOT worth 10 million a year (I would argue NO ONE IS but...)

10 million for 3 years, OK.

The other part of that article was telling - Moore took LESS to stay with the Saints. Smart man - there is more to football than making money & Lance knows that!!

we all love for him to be here for a long time but u have to be frank colston won't make 10 mil a year here or any where else, now this is my opinion; he just does'nt have that wow break away speed built in him that 10 mil a year team will want. he has some great hands, he runs some great routes, his personality is second to none. but just won't get it; sorry i hope he does but won't. he does deserve a big payday like the next guy.its qb money fellows where is this coming from. jmo.

thats the fact jack!!!!!

I think we do keep him. The misconception among the past 5 years is that we aren't big spenders... but the fact of the matter is that we have one of the top payrolls in the league. It's been like that for quite a some time. We take care of our own... which shows as we're known at a top notch classy organization.

On the flip side, i do think drew makes our recievers look alot better than they are,so we may be able to plug in another tall reciever and get the same production for less money.

Brees never had a 4,000yd passing season before he got to the Saints, you guys mean to tell me its only Brees making the WRs look good and not the other way around??? We can't at all afford to loose Colston. He has teriffic hands and are a very reliable target. And don't forget he is the ultimate professional, you never gonna hear about him in a situation not relating to something on the field.

I think Sean Payton has more to do with the continued success of Brees than our wide receivers. And vice versa. That being said now that Lance is locked up Colston is the one receiver that we better get locked up. I could not care less if Meatchump walks.

First of all, this is not the kind of conversation you want to have during a potential Super Bowl run. If you want to NOT get fed the ball during the playoffs and Super Bowl run, by Sean Payton and Drew, then go ahead, float this kind of article out there in the media. Your agent will be asked by other teams "what happened" when the game was on the line and they went to Jimmy Graham, Sproles, Lance, Devrey, Meecham, Ivory, the fullback, etc. and your guy you're selling was nowhere to be seen. No faster way to be toast on the Saints than by complaining.

I LOVE me some Marques Colston, now, don't get me wrong, and I think he should "get paid" quote unquote. But Colston could become very mediocre -- meaning middle of the pack, or lower drawer -- and even actually extremely mediocre, if he played for a team that does not have a good quarterback feeding him the ball, and a scheme that lets people "forget" about him, and thus get open, like the way the Saints do now. I mean "PAY THE MAN" is a great philosophy if you could apply it to everybody but...

We still have Adrian Arrington and Joe Morgan. We'll be fine. I hate to see him go but I'm sure we'll get along with out him.

Given a choice, I would keep probably 40 of our full squad without hesitation. But professional sports isn't like that. So players coose to move on or are cut and some of them are long remembered for what they gave us.

But players WILL sign or resign for the Saints becuase of what we are - a major team in the NFL. Did you notice I didn't mention money? Good, because players are more likely to sign for the Saints on lesser money than for those teams that are scraping aound for a winning season. It was always thus.
