La’El Collins’ reps tell me if he’s not selected in rounds 2 or 3, he’ll not sign a contract with NFL team & resubmit his name for ’16 draft

 

This is an incredible bluff or show of power in an unprecedented situation. If Collins were to be drafted on day 3 or as an undrafted free agent he would be stuck at low pay via restricted free agency and the rookie wage scale for the next 4 years. His agent realizes clearing his name and going in the first round of the 2016 draft would be more lucrative. The only question is would teams still consider him a 1st rounder with a year away from football?

 

I understand why the Agent is doing this. But damn is it ballsy.

I understand it's a business but.. This comes off as a money grab.

What is the monetary difference between his originally projected draft position vs say, a 4th round..?

 

Of course it is.

 

But if he's 100% innocent, can you blame him? He can just wait one more year and get paid way more over a 4-5 year period.

If he didn't have anything to do with the murder this sucks so bad...

 

I understand no one wants to take the risk and rightfully so...but it sorta sounds like his ex (who's kid may not even be his) suffered a horrible horrible fate and he wasn't even involved.  He's helping the PD with the investigation because the kid might be his.  Now for that, the entire league avoids him.  If he's innocent, damn does that suck for him.

      It is more how exhausting and tedious everything becomes with the extreme over-exposure. The tv commercials that run constantly. The coverage that is over-the-top because everyone wants to constantly hear how great they are. It's the next big thing! Popularity breeds contempt.

      Go after Shedeur this offseason.

      I dont know what is entitlement about anything shedeur has had to deal with this season. If anything it's showed how much of a high character resilient person he is despite the claims. And that has nothing to do with being a supporter, fan or bias. Even people that hate him are giving him props for pushing threw the bs around him.

      Anyone else just happy to be playing meaningful football in December.  For the last few years, we have been in tank mode before Thanksgiving.
