La'El Collins may be in play after all

I knew somebody who was murdered during a home invasion. Does that mean I have character concerns? Lol, some of these posts are ridiculous.

Has Rob Crisp signed yet? He could be the James Hurst of this year.

All I know is with the addition of Darryl Williams, Kalil still beasting and Turner and Norwell being studs. If you add a guy like Collins to solidify your left side with Oher and Martin as depth, this O line could be on Cowboys level elite in terms of O line. Add in a O line like that with weapons like KB/Funchess/Cam/Olsen and with our top 10 D.

I would literally put a chunk of change down on a super bowl victory, especially combine all that with our cake schedule

 

you still have to factor in coaching.

Feel free to tweet @70LaelCollins and let him know he has a home in Carolina when all this is over.

Here is my question. Let's say he's signed as a UDFA, is it possible to sign him then immediately "extend" him for 2 years for his contact length to be 5 years to give him a some semblance of a real first round contract?

Why would he want that?

 

He will play his 3 years at max payout (which is peanuts) and then hope for a longer, bigger payday for his efforts.

Could give him guaranteed money upfront which is a huge factor. Not sure if it's allowed though.

Considering the bust rate in the NFL lately for first Round OT's, guaranteed contract is important.

Exactly what I thought, but like you, I'm not sure about the rules

I would love to take a risk on La'el. Low risk, high reward

He's going to get the guaranteed max, regardless of which team he goes to.

 

As far as the bust rate, it's a gamble he's going to have to make but I would certainly bank on him taking the gamble as the cost is greatly outweighed by the reward.

[Mr. Scot]

Stupid? It was in his best interest.

 

How much more money, including escalators, could he have made if some team drafted him?

 

(there's no way to be certain someone wouldn't have on day three)

 

Plus if he's taken now and - God forbid - gets hurt, what does he fall back on?

 

It was not a good strategy.

Yeah, his agent should have kept his mouth shut. He probably would have gotten drafted on day 3.

Then you announce your intent to sit out and reenter next year's draft.

After which you find out you actually can't go into next year's draft, which makes you look like a dumbass.
