I agree. After all, the main goal of the team is to make it to the playoffs & hope for a Superbowl Win. It all comes down to what is more important to the player at the end of their contract, MORE money or a BETTER shot at winning a SB.
I hope Colston stays tho, he is a beast with exceptional hands and fits our offense well.

I just love the team we have now. Like many have said here I just hope they realize how good they have it before they go to the "show me the money" taunt. It's like changing jobs is the pasture always greener on the other side of the fence? I just hope those that are up for renewal are reasonable. YEah I would want more $$$ but I don't want to be on a losing team either. I do like Colston. He has made some awesome plays for us. I do believe we can find a replacement for him if needed. Would hate to see him go.

We can't let Colston go, couple people say oh yeah we can find a replacement for him - you can't replace a guy like Colston, somebody that always makes the plays and is a valuable chess piece for coach payton, I think we re-sign him, colston is on his way to becoming the best WR in saints history, we need to keep him

Colston is the primary target for Brees,especially on 3rd down.He is just clutch,everyone has to see it,the others are no match,Graham included.
Just like Payton created that 2pt conversion play for Moore,i bet there are specific ones for Colston,so hes going to get paid,or end up just like Shokey if he asks for ALOT more money. More money=good,just dont be greedy , put in balance the chance to win and big bucks in Minnesota or whatever .

I found this list of the Saints Salaries. not sure how accurate it is??

Colston makes 3mil.. I think there are a whole bunch of other players that deserve more than Colston. JimmY Graham for one. Garrett Hartley makes too much IMHO..

anyone who does not want to spend to keep colston here.....watch last nights game

Just a reminder, the salary cap is going to keep going higher and higher each of the next few seasons so I'm sure Loomis will find some way to keep around the core of this team even after paying Drew and Nicks

I'm just questioning the timing of this article, this reeks of his agent not Colston

One is wide receiver Marques Colston, who is scheduled to become a free agent in March. A league source tells ProFootballTalk.com that when Colston hits the open market, he won't be giving the Saints a hometown discount.

Colston, 28, signed a three-year extension of his rookie contract with the Saints in 2009. A seventh-round pick in 2006 out of Hofstra, Colston quickly became Brees' favorite target and topped the 1,000-yard mark in four of his five seasons. With 66 receptions for 917 yards, he's on pace to do the same this season.

Pay Brees first of course, and then we worry about everyone else!!

Danno

1st - Brees
2nd - Nicks

Then if we can afford Colston, sign him.
