Another article on Colston's contract situation

Yeah, he was getting $4.7M for last season.

While Colston has the best hands on the team, the Saints will be fine.

Correction - Moore has the best hands out of the receiver corps.

While Colston has the edge in catching % with 75% as opposed to 71% for Moore, one must remember that Colston has the advantage of using his 6-4 height to catch balls that the DBs can't reach while Moore has no such advantage with his small demeanor, additionally Colston had a fumble and Moore did not.

And that's the thing, there just aren't that many 6'4 WRs period, never mind how consistent Colston has been either. They are hard to find. I'm still hoping that something can get done to keep him like trimming fat in other areas. With Colston and Graham the offense becomes virtually unstoppable with 5'10 DBs trying to cover them.

Also, a 6'4" WR coming over the middle and having his collarbone broken...only to return in two weeks!
