Can confirm Marques Colston has restructured his contract to remain with the #Saints, via a league source. Good call. He's still an asset.

@nick_underhill: RT @MikeGarafolo: Saints WR Marques Colston has restructured his contract, source says. No details available but he sticks with the team.

@nfl: RT @RapSheet: #Saints WR Marques Colston, who had a $9.7M cap number, re-did his deal, source said (as @MikeGarafolo noted). He's staying.



Bet that number for this year is around 1.5 now.

Better be a very low number. Saints need to move on.

I'm sure this season will be his swan song. What a find in the '06 draft. Hope to see #12 hanging from the rafters one day.

Glad to see Colston staying. He's still a valuable Saint in my book.

Of course he's still an asset. Trust me, I'm all about moving on when the time has come, but we can't keep dumping veteran leaders. Everyone, including the coaching staff, agreed that one of the major problems last year was a lack of veteran leadership. That's why I was bummed at the news of PT Cruiser. Colston is an invaluable asset in the locker room, and he's still got the goods as a receiver. He's definitely lost a step, and he had problems with drops last year, but I've got faith that he'll get it together this year. Happy he restructured, but not in the least bit surprised. Dude is a team player, has a great attitude, and we need more like him.

Very happy he's staying.

Thank God. Idk if I could handle losing PT and Colston in one offseason.

Look, I love Colston for what he's done but he's way past his prime now. We need a replacement for him now. Maybe he can mentor a younger guy in the draft. Anyways, I hope it's a pay cut. Colston didn't have hands last year and could barely get open. He was making more than Brandon Marshall...

Hopefully the youngster comes back well from injury and immediately becomes Drew's number one. MC is still a lot better than most team's number 2's.
