I sure hope we get to keep our pretty reliable, big hands, fast healing, not-afraid-to-take-a-hit number 12.

Every real Saints fan knows how great he is. Meachem just hasn’t made the same impact. I would rather wish Robert well and welcome Marques back into the fold.

He should stay with Brees, the man who made him. He’s a disappointment waiting to happen with a lesser QB. Drew Brees is Money.

In the past I would be sooooooo worried about the ‘skins signing him. This year, not so much. They don’t need a slot guy, the need a true #1 wideout.

I would love to say the Bills should sign him, but they don’t need another slot, possession type receiver. they need a big guy that can get downfield. then the only challenge is Fitz actually throwing accurate downfield passes.

Agreed….Colston is not your typical #1 receiver…..but he’s damn good and someone will pick him up for a very high price.

Would hurt Bree’s bc he was obviously his favorite and most reliable target. Interesting that the Saints wrapped up a deal last year with Lance Moore rather than Colston.

As a Saints fan, this is good news. More teams wary of Colston makes it more likely he’s re-sign with the Saints. Anyone who thinks Marques Colston is an average receiver either hasn’t consistently watched him play, or is just a hater. NFL players voted Colston #55 in the NFL’s Top 100 players for 2011 (ahead of Greg Jennings, Brandon Marshall, Santonio Holmes, Brandon Loyd, and Miles Austin).

Colson’s is not expected back with the Saints.
————————
Only true if he gets big money from another team. If not, he could definitely be back.

Someone will overpay for him. Santana Moss would have similar #s if he was in New Orleans.

First, learn to write a sentence before posting.

Second, who in Buffalo said anything about Colston?

Third and last, you’re a hater.

Maybe he winds up wherever that OTHER Qb who has a knack for making recievers look good winds up.

Buyer Beware, He has a knack for dropping the ball in ALL big games. Check the 2006 NFC Championship Game, 2010 Superbowl, 2011 Opening night vs the Packers(I believe he had the lone turnover in this game), he may also have a drop or fumble vs the Seahawks in the 2011 Playoffs(can’t remember for sure). He seems to get nervous, and has made me very nervous in Big Games.

Rather have Meachem.

Watch the Vikes to lie low for a few days and then sign Meachem.

Wallace is a better option than Colston.

If he goes to New England or Green Bay we’d likely see similar production, assuming his health holds out. Anywhere else…

I love what Marques has brought to the Saints, but hope the Saints try harder to keep Meachem, who I think can be even more productive.

Indoor receiver catching passes from an indoor QB. He has to lose some credit for that.

_
The only thing that could be worse would be if somehow, both Brees and Colston had known what the defensive calls would be…not that would ever happen in a game and be done by any other team.

That sounds pretty accurate to me…Colston is talented and seems very mature when I hear him in interviews but he did benefit a lot from an accurate QB and a coach who is one of the best at exploiting match ups. I could see him doing well in St. Louis because Bradford has an accurate arm and Brian Schottenheimer is also good at utilizing his players’ skill sets (he did it a lot with Dustin Keller when he was play calling for the Jets, in spite of having to babysit that lazy doofus Mark Sanchez).

Love Colston to stay a Saint. He makes the clutch catches. Hope the other FA options are more glamorous than he is.

Colston isn’t given enough credit here.

Not your “typical” number 1 reciever? The numbers don’t lie. They are number 1 reciever type numbers.

He was New Orleans number 1 reciever for a pretty long time. 29 is not very old for a reciever either.

There are easily five or six teams (Rams, Vikings, Bucs) that could potentially sign Colston to be their number 1 reciever. After Vincent Jackson, I think he is the best free agent wide reciever on the market, although Pierre Garcon is pretty intriguing as well.

Colston is a number 1 caliber reciever.

Nothing to see here. He is injury prone and slow. Go get someone else in Free Agency please.

Get used to it fans………….McCoy to Colston for a TD!

______________________________

Lessean McCoy option pass??? Interesting thought. I know your not thinking that Colt McCoy will still be a starting QB next year….

Don’t think the demand for veteran free agent WR is going to be that great all around. Very deep crop of rookies this year. Remember Colston was late round pick who stepped right in and had one of his best seasons as a rookie. There are a few like him in the draft, I think.
