I hope the Saints don't insult him and offer him vet minimum!

Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
I hope he doesn't insult the Saints by asking for too much considering he was in the top tier of drops. Great player, one of the best for us, but the ride is close to over.

No way he should get more than 4mil per year.

Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
He wii have to take a pretty big cut I'm thinking to stay here. He is one of my favorite Saints of all time.

Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
Colston is one of my favorite Saints of All Time...
Fiery Competitor without the Prima Donna Bullshinski... My concern is his healthy, namely that arthritic foot/ankle or a Payton would say "Leg" injury and if the pain is affecting his play... We all know the drops last season were totally uncharacteristic of him... Did notice on a few plays he was unable to run away from defenders, much less keep running, despite having a step on said defender... I'd love to have him retire a Saint and be in the Saints WR corps next season, but WTH is going on with that "lower leg" ailment?!? That is the real question... |
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
Please clarify "small, mild cut?"

Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
For the record, I want MC back. I think something personal was going on last season. He is too good of a pro to drop as many balls as he did last year and besides that he still has value and can help this club win games.

I really think he was playing in pain... If his lower leg injury is degenerative, similar to Vilma's knee, then it's not a matter of if, but when... Man has been such a class act, sure hope he knows his efforts are loved, appreciated... Just don't get any ****ing ideas of going to Atlanta... |

Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
Cutting bait now is the thing to do. He was a shell of his former this season and there ain't no fountain of youth. Great Saint. Great guy. Simply not worth the salary at this point of his career.

Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
he is an aging vet that has paid his dues and cashed in for them. pay cut is over due as we all know
Issue at hand 1) we have turned over the WR corp so much can you ill afford to let yet another vet go with all the puppies running around on the field? 2) LEADERSHIP. granted he is more of the lead by example type and not the loud mouth raw raw type but a leader non the less. we found out we lost almost all of that last year in locker room so dare we give the inmates even more control? restructure and/or extend it to make it cap friendly. Just do not take yet another leader off this team plus our WR corp is still one of the most over rated groups in the NFL and has been for years. there is no one ready to step in right now. |
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
Magnanimous to say he'll take the pay cut, but wasn't that already obvious?
We hold the cards on this one: he has more value in our system, and the going rate for a 32 year old with 60 catches and a more than a handful of drops can't be more than 4-5 million |

I think Colston will willingly restructure to a team friendly deal because he is a true team player. He knows his past season was bad and has said so, he was just as disappointed in it. If he had lit it up last season, then he would be prone to ask for bigger money. |
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
ive dogged him this year for the drops and its not him I agree something else was happening in his life, I hope he takes the cut to stay's here and have a who u saids old year. love the man hes a real pro.
|
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
He'll be back because he is smart and knows his value is in this system.
|
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
I hope he can play atleast 1-2 more seasons for us.
|
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
Has he got any kids to care for?
|
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
He'll turn 32 in June. 34-35 is when the big drop off really happens generally. I want to keep him around.

Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
Brees to Colston is 5th all time for TD connections with 68!
With 12 more TD's they move into 3rd place above Dan Marino to Make Clayton. |
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
All for it, Colston started to look like his old self midway thru the season.
|
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
Colston market value = HUGE pay cut.
We have always over-paid for veterans. Its time to stop. |
Re: Marques Colston willing to take a pay cut to stay with New Orleans Saints
The market value is probably close to the amount he would get if we cut him. Going to be a intetesting few months
