First, I want to thank the New Orleans Saints for providing me the opportunity to spend the last 10 years with such a first class organization. It truly is, and always will be, a dream come true for a young athlete out of Hofstra University.
To everyone from the Benson family, the front office, coaches, and the training and equipment staff: It has been a pleasure to be part of a family with so many great people. And to my fellow players: thanks to each of you for sharing this journey with me, challenging me to grow as a player, and an individual. It’s been an honor to work beside you, and as a team we achieved something that can never be duplicated – the first Super Bowl victory for NOLA.
And last but not least, to the most passionate fans in the world — the WHO DAT Nation — it has been my privilege to represent you on the field. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of something so much bigger than football in New Orleans. It has been amazing to witness first hand your passion and resilience, even in the face of adversity. Because of you, New Orleans will always hold a special place in my heart.
It has truly been an honor to wear the Black & Gold, and I look forward to the next chapter of my career.

Colston will forever be in the history books as one of the greatest Saints ever.

He mentioned us!

He's in the All-Class HoF.
Thank you, 12.

The literal definition of a class athlete.
I will miss #12 lining up for us. End of an era and just shows how quickly 10 years can go by.

One of the classiest players I've ever watched. He showed up to work and played the game the way it was meant to be played.
Much love to #12

One of the best draft picks in organization history.

So no chance the Saints bring him back at a reduced salary?
I met him once when I worked at Tanger and he was a super nice guy, I got a picture with him and a signed hat I bought from Lids.

Sounds like he's planning on going to another team as well.

#12 is a class act as he's always been. No doubt one of my favorite Saints ever and how he's been so criminally underrated as one of the best and most consistent WR in the league for the last decade is beyond me.
Thanks for an unforgettable decade Marques and for bringing a Lombardi to the Crescent City. You'll always be a Saint to me
