FLOWERY BRANCH – As things currently stand, the Falcons have one proven big-time receiver, an older one and a young promising slot receiver.
The New Orleans Saints have officially released wide receiver Marques Colston with a failed physical designation.
The move has been anticipated since last week. Here are some Colston highlights from NOLA.com
Colston, a seventh-round draft pick in 2006, is the Saints’ all-time leading receiver and touchdown scorer. The Saints will save $3.2 million against the salary cap with his release.
The Falcons have Julio Jones, Roddy White and Justin Hardy. Devin Hester is recovering from foot surgery and may retire or be released. Nick Williams made the team and is basically a hustle player.
Colston, who’s 32, has 711 career receptions, 9,759 yards receiving and 72 touchdowns. Like White, his production dropped last season as he caught only 45 passes and had a bad case of the dropsies.
So, should the Falcon sign Colston?
