La'El Collins may be in play after all

[Cpt slay a ho]

If we somehow got him A+ draft

[TylerVagyler]

sent turner a tweet

 

hope that isn't considered rude or over the line considering the situation 

[Mr. Scot]

We wouldn't try to sign him until he is 100% cleared of any wrongdoing. That could mean waiting until there is a suspect arrested, charged and the case is all out in the air.

I would imagine there is a team that would be willing to sign him after they just have more info and are 99% sure he wasn't involved which could be much sooner

 

My guess is a lot will be decided on Monday when he talks to the police.

Gettleman may not necessarily be able to call him right now (don't really know).

 

Trai Turner can call him a hundred times if he wants to (or text, or whatever).

 

Thing to remember though?  Old LSU teammates now with other NFL teams can do this too.

 

 

Linemen have a special bond with each other, so if we do have anything going for us, that'd probably be the edge.

God i fugging swear one of our beat reporters better flat out ask Gman "if Collins is clear, would he be an option." I want to atleast know if he is in play for us

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Maybe bringing in La'El as an UDFA was Gettleman's plan all along.

this part of this article http://blackandbluereview.com/panthers-eyeing-lsu-offensive-tackle-lael-collins/ makes me think this could be very possible.

People really thing we would sign him even after he's cleared? I mean this is an organization who's proud to stay away from bad boys...

He's not exactly a 'bad boy' if he's cleared.

 

Honestly, if that's the case, he's more of a victim.

If he's innocent, he did nothing wrong. 

[Kevin Greene]

We already drafted a tackle. 

[O-Ther]

Going to be a bidding war though.

 

No there won't. CBA maxes the salaries and signing bonuses of UDFAs to below the last drafted player's contract. Those are going for minimum salaries and like $20k signing bonus. He's not going to be able to get a better deal than that, cause them's the rules. It's gonna come down to where he wants to play, and Trai could be the ace up our sleeve there.

Not a left tackle which is what we need more than the right tackle we drafted.
