Interesting question from Larry Holder via Twitter....

Would you, if given the opportunity, rather sign Mario Williams or re-sign Nicks/Colston.

He thinks Williams would cost as much as those two combined.


Discuss.

ETA: Title change for more attention.

ETA2: Dropped Colston from the topic. Seemed the two of the was too much to give up even though Williams value, money-wise, may be as much as both.

100% hands down without a doubt nicks/colston.

shite id rather just resign nicks than williams.

Our offense is out strongest point(obviously) and Nicks as a pretty big reason why our little QB can do so may big things.

Nicks and Colston >>>>>> Williams

Nicks>Williams

Williams>Colston

I feel colston would be easier to replace than nicks, and less valuable at this point in his career all things considered than a solid pass rusher

Nicks/Colston.

Then take chances on younger players, diamonds in the rough, injured guys, draft picks, etc.

Mario Williams. You can't replace that kind of talent.

Why when we have the luck of having Mark Ingram backing up those two positions....?














Will the chad - ingram jokes ever get old?

Honestly, I'm torn on this. Not sure what I would rather.

Houston's defense did just fine without him.

Nicks and Colston replacements could possibly be had in mid'der rounds of a draft or more easily replaceable in free agency. Game changers like Mario rushing the passer impacts and entire defense game in and game out and those talents don't fall out of trees too often. Only thing makes me nervous is his injury history.

I expected you, of all people, to be the biggest fan of them meng.


I thought you'd be happy with ingram and joke being in the same sentence.

He's more crucial in a 4-3 system.

They have 4 or 5 other guys that can rush the passer, which is 4 or 5 more than the Saints

Williams might be a good get for the Saints, but not at the cost of 2 top level starters like Colston and Nicks, plus he;s been injuried the last 2 years.

For the record, I don't think signing Mario would inhibit of from resigning neither of these guys. I'd assume WIll may be let go saving a few bucks.
