I would like to know what the real contract structure is... he may never see the last 3 years of this deal. Who the frick knows, anyways, he deserves it but frick paying a wr that kind of money.

I'd say so. If the contract runs through it's date, it'll be almost $20m a year.

Never said he was. But, how do you think Colston compares to Vincent Jackson?

Johnson is hands down the best receiver in the game right now.

I love colston but he is 28 or 29 years old and has had injury issues in the past. I don't think his offers would have been as big as some think. With that said I think we all know he could've made more money in FA.

Very well. Little bit different breeds, vincent more downfield receiver, colston more of that 10-20 yard zone type receiver with great hands. Jackson has a bit more flare, Colston has had more nagging injuries over the years, Jackson only had one year he was hurt... not sure if that was injury or he held out.

Colston is not even in the same zip code as Megatron. He was all they had and would dominate double teams daily. He's the best in the league and I love Colston but he is not even top 10
