this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I will make my business case for trading Colston. The perception that I have seen everywhere is that he still has a few years left in the tank. Great! That is trade value... Why do you want to trade Colston ...

Re: Brees: Colston has a bunch of good years left
I will make my business case for trading Colston.
The perception that I have seen everywhere is that he still has a few years left in the tank. Great! That is trade value... Why do you want to trade Colston while most people still think he has a few years? Because his contract is as quiet as he is, but is also as lethal. Past season 4.5M cap hit <- he is worth that 2014 8.3M Cap hit <-- I do not think he is worth this or the rest. 2015 9.7M Cap hit 2016 10.5M Cap hit If you do not trade him now, while you can sell his value, it isnt till 2015 that he isnt upside down in dead money. Still not convinced? What if i told you that in 2014 for 9M you could have Stevie Johnson, Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace, Dwayne Bowe, 2x Demaryius Thomas, 2x Crabtrees, 3x Dez Bryants... Are you still keeping Colston? I would trade him for draft picks and use the cap space to find a FA WR worth around 7m, giving us another 2m to play wit for Graham... LT, CB, etc... |
