Colston's Impending Release

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Keep him at what cost????? Keep a #4 or 5 WR at 6 million? Even at 2 million it would be a mistake. I love the guy just like the rest of you but why keep him when we could ...

Great individual who made the others around him better.

The idea of him playing elsewhere is making me physically ill.

My 10 year old son yelled YES!!!! When he read it. I had to put him in check and make him understand how he is one of the best players in Saints history and just how much Colston meant to the Superbowl run. Very Very sad news.

Re: Colston's Impending Release

A lot of people are often like "why don't we keep this dude around, hes a good leader". And while I don't dispute these sentiments at times, understanding how a locker room works is very crucial to understand why these older guys are often released. Sometimes having older guys around kind of gets in the way of newer guys learning how to lead, because the older guys carry so much gravity.

Re: Colston's Impending Release

I sure hope they eventually bring him back at halftime and let him do a victory lap riding around the perimeter of the Dome, on the back of a convertible, like they have done with Deuce and a couple other guys. I would cheer my lungs out for that. Tears were welling up in my eyes that day when they rolled Deuce around the Dome on the trunk of the convertible, I will never ever forget it. Would like to have that moment with Colston, for sure.

Re: Colston's Impending Release

Now here's what I think. since there's the risk of injury with the three we have, it might be best to get another receiver better than Snead and Coleman to line up opposite Cooks and have Snead and Coleman split the slot. If we end up going after a receiver that better be the case because you can't just have a fourth receiver as good or better than those two sitting on the bench. Snead imo is not a fit for the wideout role opposite Cooks because of his size. He should be in the middle splitting reps with Coleman. And should a injury occur, then we have three receivers playing full snaps in three receiver sets.

Retire his #12. But give the man one more year at a reduced rate.

I bet his mama is proud!
