It’s possible that WR Marques Colston could leave the New Orleans Saints this offseason as a free agent.
According to PFT.com, WR Marques Colston wants to get paid, and he doesn’t care which team is writing the checks.

Moment to remember for Brees, Saints
Once he watches the game replay, Drew Brees will be hard on himself.
The New Orleans Saints quarterback will bemoan throwing two uncharacteristic passes into double coverage that were intercepted. He will feel just as badly about trying to call consecutive timeouts late in the second quarter, which is a Football 101 rules violation. There were 16 incompletions and three second-half...
