Marques Colston signed a smaller deal to stay in New Orleans, and was considered the best or second best WR on the market. Pierre was the third best and got a bigger offer. Thats either bad negotiating by us or Marques knows he's not that good without brees. somethings off here..

Well because the Saints didn't let Colston hit the open market. In an open market, he would get more

No one really knows. The NFL took 18 mill. Which should have left us with like 15 to 20 mill I'd guess.

Then go up a couple of posts and you'll see the break down for Garcon alone which is like 13 mill this year. Then there is the Carriker deal, Josh Morgan deal, Eddie Royal deal..... each about 2 mill a year.

Niles Paul and Hankerson can be possession WR's and the TE's are possession guys too, so if they wanted to release him they have guys to fill that role.

Yep, once a player hits the open market, it becomes an auction for the player and teams will put in bids. The only difference from a typical auction in this case is that the player can choose which bid to accept.

I don't see how Gaffney having his best year is comparable to Moss putting up 3 years of 1000+ yards and 1 year only a few yards shy of 1000. I feel the only reason Moss didn't break out this year as well is him being injured and playing QB carousel during the year. It's like saying, "why did Fred Davis do so much better than Chris Cooley. We need to get rid of him."

Either way it's never a good sign when you're trying to decide which old guy is better than the other. Personally I don't think either of them have too much longer to put up big numbers.

For those wondering what it would have cost to get V-Jax

Unless Royal and/or Morgan is/are also sure-handed and thus can play the possession role.

Morgan could be a possession guy. He has the build and the toughness for it.

Damn. I lose again.

You guys think Garcon can develop into a true WR1? Will he demand double coverage? I guess he's got the best years still ahead of him, but I remember him being inconsistent, dropping as many catchable balls as making outstanding catches. Thoughts?

Why cant we assume hankerson to be our #1?
