La'El Collins may be in play after all

Collins plans to sign, once he's cleared

 

Collins intends to meet with police on Monday for questioning in connection with a murder case that now involves two deaths — a 29-year-old woman and her infant child.  Collins is not a suspect in the case, but because he has not been cleared, no one could touch him in the draft.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Collins plans to sign with a team after he is cleared.

Making Collins less attractive in the draft was a vow to sit out the year and re-enter the draft in 2016, if he were drafted this year.  Ultimately, that may have been a ploy aimed at ensuring he wasn’t drafted at all.

Ultimately, Collins can salvage the early portion of his career by signing the standard three-year deal as an undrafted rookie.  While he’d be eligible for restricted free agency after three years, the numbers suggest that he’ll do fairly well, given the current amount and the historic growth of the restricted free agency tenders.

If it actually was a ploy, it was a stupid one.

 

Regardless, if he is actually cleared in the investigation, he's an option.

Have to think we'd be a targeted landing spot.

He has to be a starter almost right away to ensure a big payday after 3 years. This means he's going to want to go to a team that has a desperate need for a LT.

Furthermore, one would assume he's going to want a LT needy team that doesn't have many holes, that is missing only a few pieces to going all the way, to keep him in the spotlight and help him shine.

Finally, he'd be playing next to a friend, Turner.

Is there a better team that fits the bill than us?

he'll get signed by a team before the investigation is over.

 

high reward/low risk

 

don't know why we wouldn't take a flier on him. innocent until proven guilty.

He can't just "get signed" he has to agree to it. He's not signing anywhere until this issue is cleared up completely.

    • College tape is about all they have but it is against college guys so you have to account for that when you watch. I didn't watch much and don't remember if I caught on to the dropback meander and tippy toe until he was a pro. I saw people say about the LSU game having some nuggets, haven't watched it.  But the Pro Day issues were obvious immediately and with all the other questions I was just... out. All the way. I was thinking of it like a horse race and picking a long shot and going all in; if you lose we are walking home. Or to the homeless shelter. 
    • "Don't let everyone that works for Tepper skate by scot-free" Well yeah we shouldn't do that but at the same time he is the one doing the hiring in every instance soo....
    • That is pretty much what I think. Never say never, but the odds are heavily stacked when you take in the big picture; he is squeezing his timeline now with every demonstration of his issues.  He has to have the proper form to get the max from his arm. He hit maybe a couple of longer throws last year but with all the misses and looking at Sunday those couple of nice balls could have been accidents. I mean whatever he did, is not repeatable. Or however many good downfield throws there were, I know not many. Even with drops.  What is happening I think is - he looked better in camp his balls looked better in the air, the form seemed to have been addressed. He was driving through it, looking good. But he hasn't taken that into the game. Snapped right back to his way at the first sign of trouble. I probably said this before like everything else but he could sit, work, try to fix his stuff for a whole season. If anybody wants to do that. Don't even play him, redshirt his ass and rebuild him the right way; I don't know what else you can really do if he doesn't get it out of the ditch. Starting Sunday. Rock bottom, he can reach and touch it he is getting so close. Week three is the big game for me, or was. I did not expect him to look like that.  That stuff he is doing I just don't think it will work. Maybe I am right maybe I am wrong. Oh well.
