La'el Collins Agent: Draft Him Now Or He Won't Sign

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.

    • Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.
    • If you are buying Silver Club, 300 level, try and the buy ones that have the Lot 1 parking pass.  it is steps to the stadium Also, buy on the shade side my PSls used to be section 342, under the overhang.  I didnt care about sun or rain plenty of sites have interactive  maps that can show you   Just know, if they are opposite side of 342, the sun will beat on your head…endzones too.   if, you know for sure that you are going, and you need a hotel room, do it now  you can always cancel … remember, even if the panthers suck,  the national press follows them as do their fans.  Hotel rooms go fast for that game 
    • didn't he run like a 4.52?
