New Orleans Saints likely to release Marques Colston in coming days, ESPN reports

The New Orleans Saints are likely to release receiver Marques Colston in the coming days, ESPN reported Tuesday.

Colston has played 10 seasons with the Saints since the team selected him in the seventh round of the 2006 NFL Draft.

The release of Colston would give the Saints $3.2 million in cap savings, according to salary data at spotrac.com.

Colston, who missed three games to injury in 2015, posted career low numbers in catches (45), yards (520) and touchdowns (four) last season.

Colston holds Saints career records for receiving yards (9,759) and touchdowns (72).
