Tampa attempting to trade OT Anthony Collins

[TheSpecial1]

Will release him if they can't find trade partner.

 

There ya go, our new RT

[uncfan888]

package deal... Him and Mike Evans for Jerricho Cotchery and Nate Chandler.

 

make it happen, GMan

[t96]

Don't fuging trade for that contract. Let him be cut and then try to sign him to a low guaranteed contract and bring him in to compete. He was bad last year but who knows what could happen with him here. He was actually great when filling in as LT for the Bengals.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I wouldn't hate it for depth, really good swing tackle for the bengals and we desperately need a solid swing tackle. But I've heard some pretty awful things about him

But I've heard some pretty awful things about him

Do tell.

[Yaboychris28]

We wanted him really bad last offseason. With his awful season, his asking price will be much much lower if or when he is cut

[TheSpecial1]

We made him an offer last offseason but Tampa doesn't have Gettleman and gave him a ridiculous 5-year $30 million dollar deal.

All Gettleman has to do now is wait for the Bucs to cut him and then bring him in on a cheap 1 or 2-year deal.

Collins isn't great but he's still young and athletic.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yep, we were very interested last year, but if we weren't willing to give him that type of contract in the FA market last offseason, we sure as hell aren't going to trade anything to acquire that contract with Collins coming off of a bad season.  Nor will anyone else.  If the Bucs want out of that deal they're gonna have to cut him.

[t96]

I thought Voth said that we never actually made him an offer, and that was a wrong report.

[Toker Smurf]

Do want. Bring him and Oher in, draft a tackle early to mid and with Remmers we're improved top to bottom.

Would not be mad about it.  Wouldn't be mad at all.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Do tell.

I remember reading tweets from someone who covers the bucs, and she said that when she asked a bengals assistant coach at the combine last year about collins she got an awful reaction. Mentioning that he took plays off and had a really poor attitude, and wasn't a starting caliber OT. But I would be fine with him as depth/starting in a pinch

[Mr. Scot]

Makes him sound like one of those "play well enough in a contract year to get paid and then put it in cruise control" guys.

Which means a 1 year contract from Carolina sounds like just the right medicine.
