Joe Horn on Marques Colston:

Joe's got a few more year's on his contract - Just renegotiated recently.

He'll be here. Not only will he continue to be a productive part of this offense, he's important to this team as Sean looks to his locker room and gameday leadership. Joe is a class act. Don't count him out yet.


Was that renegoiated recently? Thing is that, if you go look at Joe's contract (at least the current one at NFLPA website) his contract REALLY escalates after this season. He'll be making 4-5 million per year for the remainder of the contract:

Salary History
2000 450000.00
2001 500000.00
2002 1700000.00
2003 700000.00
2004 700000.00
2005 665000.00
2006 1635000.00
2007 4450000.00
2008 4730000.00
2009 5010000.00
2010 5290000.00


I like Joe and I hope he can stick around but unless he agrees to restructure his contract, I am not sure he'll be here.
