So if you were Colston you would take a huge pay cut and only be the #3 option on the team? I think the whole playing for Brees thing is overrated for WRs because he spreads the ball out so much. I'm sure Colston wants to be 'the man' and be paid like it. Not have less targets than a TE and scat RB.

I don't give a sh-t what the players do or think. I just think I am pretty sure I would tag the guard and let the playmakers weigh the situations of their new options and let that go into the negotiations.

Dude, you just said that.....but ok

I see where I am confusing you. To clarify I was simply saying what I would think if I were them and then determining who has the biggest reason to want to stick around and leave those players up to negotiations and tag the one that had the easiest move.

So I did say "If I were" but that was more from a perspective of the man making the decision and not the players themselves.

Sorry about that.

Not sure what Colston has without Brees (best ball out there) and without a dome.

I am sure he has confidence but they are not gonna pay him what he might want if like you said, he is getting the third most targets. So NO holds the cards on him I think.

I don't think Brees dares to play outside and on grass and without 5-6 proven targets. He is old and pretty much a family fixture in the city. He's not going anywhere. NO took a huge chance on him once and it has worked out well for both parties.

That guard will get snatched up before offers even come in on the other two IMO.

As of right now all we can do is dream. Because unless Hurney restructures some contracts and and give the team a load cash to spend this offseason. Don't expect to see either of those guys here. We spent most of our money on Johnson, TD, Dwill, Benson, and Anderson this past offseason. We got to have the cap to fill the holes we have on D right now. Offense can use a few upgrades. But breaking the bank on one guy is not wise when we have some holes to fill this offseason. Don't see it happening.

Word i would reconstruct Davis contract to the league minimum.

Edwards at DT, have an injury clause in there somewhere incase he drops out again.

and honestly alot of the problem is spending too much on charles johnson.

Don't get me wrong he is a great player but that is too much.

Brees will end up getting one of the largest contracts ever. Manning and Brady type money. I don't know their cap situation, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose both Nicks and Colston. Neither are coming here, but I'd kill for Nicks. 3 Pro Bowl guys on the line, and maybe 10 or so games of Otah? Yes please.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
