Nothing against Meach, Henderson, Arrington, or Roby, but I couldn't disagree with you more.

I'm also curious of what your idea of a more structured contract is. 10 million is just speculation and may be a bit much since Brees and Nicks are first in the pecking order... but would you consider 7 or 8 million a year with a little moe up front more structured? Does any one else feel Drew would be willing to take less to ensure Colston remains a Saint? Honestly I feel we keep all three. At worst, we franchise Nicks or Colston, extend the other two, and worry about the last one the year after. I wouldn't be shocked to see either Smith or Vilma becoming cap casualties freeing up the money to get everyone done either. |

This is going to be one tough off season.

This upcoming off season is probably going to be brutal. Colston is good as gone at this point. Henderson is probably right behind him. Will Smith and Jon Vilma, probably gone too. The Saints have ran their course and the off season isn't going to be kind to them. We should all hope for another Super Bowl win, because after this season it's not happening. Brees will still be around with his 25 million dollar per year contract, and lots of rookies.

It's not just that, when you play with the Saints as a WR you're forfeiting personal fame. The ball is spread so thin (with really only Graham getting the fame) that you just take what you get. Pay the guy or he'll go somewhere else and play big. If Reggie can do it, I'm sure Colston can play big elsewhere.
