Joe Horn on Marques Colston:
Joe's salary next year and his injuries the last two years make it doubtful that he will be a Saint next season.
Joe will be here, cruize. His injury this year is no comparison to last year. Joe could have played the last 2 games, but Coach Payton kept him out.
From Joe's own mouth, he's played at 50% in the past and still been effective. This coaching staff simply has a different philosophy when it comes to injuries.
Coach knows how important it is to have Joe healthy for the stretch run.
Regarding next year, until the Saints find another #2 that can compliment Marques like Joe (I.E. Marvin Harrison/Reggie Wayne - Indy), Joe will be here.
He's played with double coverage since his first season, and still put up better numbers than any receiver before him. Now that Marques will be getting the doubles, Joe will be a monster in 1 on 1's.
He's a Saint until he retires.
