The New Orleans Saints have resigned top wide receiver Marques Colston with a five-year, $40-million contract, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports originally reported.
Colston was due to become an unrestricted free agent at 4 p.m. this afternoon. But word began to leak out this morning that the Saints were trying to hammer out a deal before he hit the open market.
Despite Colston coming off the board, free agency is still loaded at wide receiver — Vincent Jackson, Brandon Lloyd, and Mario Manningham will all be out there starting this afternoon.
