Has Colston caught his last td as a Saint?

WillSaints81 · 12-28-2014, 10:47 PM

If he stays it could hurt Drew more. Drew is not going to move on from constantly targeting Colston until Colston isn't on the field. He's attached to him, like with Graham and to me, thats a concern.

Yes we need a wideout, but we need OL and ILB first.

That's because Brees trust Colston to be where he is supposed to be. Which is something that takes time.

There aren't any OBJ, Evans, or the likes in this draft except for Cooper and he has already said he doesn't like N.O...

So give me a healthy Graham, Colston, Stills, and Cooks...draft interior O line help and sign a capable veteran and the Offense will be better. Even with all the drops we weren't the worst in the league.

I'm going to say this as politely as I can.........Colston has never been a Reggie Wayne. And it does not matter what Cooper says, he has no say in who drafts him. And there are good receivers in this draft, just not as many. We need to sign one in FA. What happens if the receivers get hurt again? What ailing issue will Graham have next? Sigh, I hope Brees can play well with no true elite receiver next year I'm just scratching my head on the receivers dropping passes. Colston has been inconsistent since 2011. Graham better engage in a boodybuilding program to be as good as Gronk this offseason.

I agree we have bigger needs but I'm tired of hoping for luck more than making our luck.

Not even on a good day. Colston will be back with a restructure (he admitted his own disappointment with his season) and a lot to prove.

Colston has been a class act and a consumate professional his entire career. Everyone, including him, recognizes that his cap number cannot allow that. He will likely get restructured or cut a re-signed for an acceptable amount. He can still be helpful to this team on and off the field and needs to remain a Saint and retire a Saint.

I think after this season... ANYONE with a high price tag is expendable.

Start trading these guys off already.

9 million ? It will have to cut to 2 mill. Only way he returns. Be weird without him. Who else is brees going to throw to in triple coverage.

Ashley · 12-29-2014, 03:33 PM

I think he will be back, he will drop in the depth chart though

hagan714 · 12-29-2014, 03:43 PM

ever player in the nfl knows there is little or no chance to get the last few years of deal. that is why so much is front loaded. especially if their up in age.

I see both signing a new deal and bring them into line cap wise. none of the new deals signed in the past few years had the guarantees these two have gotten and they know it.

Time to move on. If roster spots and cap space were unlimited then sure we could be the old folks home for these guys but it is a young mans game. And FWIW I don't trust Toon. I had hoped to see some of the young guys yesterday but it was the old folks show. Heck even Mechem played. We have Stills and Cooks. After that I don't know who or what we have but hope it is someone new.
