Saints be releasing Colston and poo

Would like for him to mentor Funchess on playing the big slot WR that I think Devin is best suited for and the role that Colston helped pioneer, but I don't really want to use a roster spot or playing time on him so whatever. I'm cool if we get him for cheap or if we show no interest at all.

No more Saint's rejects!  Harper was tolerable but Colston is spent.  Never really thought he was all that anyway.

Guy has averaged 70 catches, 7 TDs, and just under 1,000 yards a year during his 10-year career. Even adjusting for some stat inflation from playing in that NO offense there's no arguing that he's been a quality receiver.

Not saying that I want to see him in Carolina (though I do think he'd be steps above the Legedu/Louis Murphy-type signings) since KB, Funch, and Ginn/Brown are a very solid group, but Colston probably has a couple of decent years left as a possession guy.

I wouldn't mind him as the Cotchery replacement, and a rookie to supplant Bersin. The man is 6'4" 230 lbs, I'd imagine a perfect tutor / vet presence for Funchess/KB. 

We'd have red zone threats across the board, big, can run block, can make contested catches, if the price is reasonable no reason not to. I like our receivers but we still need a dependable possession receiver, not to mention depth in the receiver size department. Behind KB/Funch we are pretty small at receiver, unless your'e counting Bersin who was rarely active.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
