Colston contract a mistake?

His numbers are better than TO during the same time frame. What's there to regret when he's averaging over a 1,000 yds a season?

The question was it a mistake to give him a big contract, and the answer is yes!!! I love the guy but he's not worth the money and the amount it's going to take up in salary cap. Colston's good days are behind him and he's a product of the system.
At this point the saints still need a deep threat receiver which they don't have, I know Mike Wallace is a free agent next year, do the Saint's have the money to sign a guy like that and Jimmy Graham because of MC's/ DB's contract and fix the defense, IMO no, and don't have enough draft picks unless Mickey Loomis has some magic moves that I don't see.

I'm not regreting his contract. Colston has a nose for the ball and catches everything..........usually.........anyway before we signed him in the off season teams were lining up for a chance at Colston.

I think there are a lot of things the Saints regret this year, and Colston's contract is WAY down on that list!

How does Drew get drug into everything?

Has to be the contract that he has, he said that he didn't want a contract that wouldn't allow the Saints to sign other players and that's exactly what happened.
His performance this year hasn't been that of a 100 million dollar QB

And when drew said he wanted a team friendly contract so we could re-sign other players, he dragged it out for that long that we couldn't franchise nicks, if brees agreed to a contract quicker, colstons contract would be done and we could has franchise nicks

But brees' team friendly deal proved to be everything but team friendly, now we have a frail O line, a battered and slow receiving corp and underachieving 100 million dollar man

Perfectly said, Drew made his own problems. Now the Saints will be bargain basement shopping like Barrett Rudd

I always thought Colston was a product of our system. I thought Nicks was a more important piece.

Couldn't agree more, why let go of the best offensive lineman. I can only think of 1 reason, had to pay Drew Bree's and couldn't afford him
