According to NOLA.com:

Saints leading receiver Marques Colston released after 10 seasons

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston has been released.

Colston concludes his Saints career as the leading receiver in franchise history, establishing team records for receptions (711), yards (9,759) and touchdowns (72). His 66.8 receiving yards-per-game ranked second only to Joe Horn.

Known as the "Quiet Storm," Colston's personality was a stark contrast to many receivers of his generation. He didn't seek out attention, and often shunned it, in times of both success and failure.

He must not have wanted to restructure.

Good luck Colston.

I heard a lot of teams need receivers this year. Which really ticks me off that we waited and waited until everyone else wanted what we wanted too.

There are some reports coming out of workouts and all that he lacks speed. Honestly, we have speed already on our team. His name is Cooks and so far speedy receivers have done squat for us other than him(cough TJ or TG cough). Physical toughness, which is what he possesses, is what we need.

That said he may be the only legit receiver in this class so he will not fall to us.

I wouldn't worry about missing out on a WR in the first round. There are plenty of good WRs that can be found in later rounds. Colston, Graham, Stills proved that one
