July 24, 2008
Wide receiver Marques Colston, fresh off of signing a contract extension, missed the Saints practice this morning, but is expected to participate in the afternoon session, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Our View:The move was described as a precautionary move, and the fact that Colston will be back at practice in the afternoon reaffirms that.
July 24, 2008
Marques Colston has signed a three-year contract extension that will keep him under contract with the Saints through the 2011 season, according to the Sports Ticker.

Our View:Considering the overwhelming numbers he has posted, Colston more than deserved the money. A seventh-round draft selection in 2006, Colston has 168 career receptions - a record for any player in his first two seasons.
July 23, 2008
Reports out of New Orleans indicate the Saints have reached terms on a new contract extension for top receiver Marques Colston , according to the Times-Picayune.

Our View:Colston has agreed to terms on a three-year extension with the Saints, GM Mickey Loomis announced Wednesday in his pre-training camp address. Colston, a seventh-round pick in 2006, has far outplayed his rookie contract. In two seasons, he's caught 168 passes for 2,240 yardsand 19 touchdowns. The Times-Picayune did not reveal terms of the deal in their report, other than the length.
July 6, 2008
The Saints have had preliminary talks with Marques Colston's agent regarding an extension, but no new progress toward reaching a deal has been made, according to the New Orleans Times Picayune.

Our View:Colston is not expected to be a holdout when training camp begins, but he clearly deserves a lucrative new deal, as he racked up 98 receptions for 1,202 yards and 11 scores in 2007.

Marques Colston was a no-show at the Saints' OTA session on Monday, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Colston has been looking for a new contract, but is not bickering with the team, as he has been a regular participant in the Saints' off-season conditioning program, which started in mid-March, and was at the mandatory mini-camp, and at the rest of the OTA practices. Coach Sean Payton noted that Colston has done well so far in practice, and will call him up to see what the deal was regarding his absence.

Our View:Colston should not be a distraction, and the missed OTA on Monday was voluntary.
