M. Colston in FA, how much would he cost?

I don't think we could afford a bidding war but we would have reason to bid for him or at least see that he doesn't play in our division where we have to play him twice a year. Acquiring him serves 2 purposes, first it gives us a number 2/number 1 receiver and takes away one of the best weapons that a division rival possesses. I doubt Atlanta would want him after getting Jones last year but Tampa could be very interested if they are truly going to open up the pursestrings this year. What would it take? Likely a 5 year deal for 45 million with 25 guaranteed. That is right at the franchise tag of 9.5 million. Could we do it?? Actually we could but the question is at what price??? In other words who would we have to cut or restructure to fit it under the cap?? And if we are going to make a big splash will it be him or someone else?? Nothing we have done in the past few years says we would pull the trigger but who knows?

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
