La'el Collins has begun visits


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Its quite possible we sign him. Well just as possible as any other team. He will look for the right fit and a chance to cash in after his contract is up. I doubt he is looking for a back up role.

I am glad we had dinner with him. If we didn't at least try to land him I would be pretty upset. Watching him play in the SEC I see no reason why he couldn't play LT. If we do sign Collins then we could end up with both tackle positions filled for the next 10 years.

actual "news" about him:

The Minnesota Vikings appear to be one of several teams interested in signing Collins. The Vikings, Panthers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Colts, Bucs, Cardinals, Rams, Dolphins and Lions appear to be the early front runners to land the talented offensive tackle.

Lol this is both exciting and crushing. That's 11 teams.

Interesting the Saints weren't mentioned here

does it really count if a third of the teams are early front runners?  :lol:

It increased our chances just under 10% from just about 3% if true. Who knows? But other teams see us as "in play" and I think that's the good point there. That's not really a "news" source.

 

 

I'm taking every percentage point I can get. ;)

ESPN beat reporter for the Bills:

As I said last night, it remains unlikely -- despite Rex's dinner --

that the Bills sign La'el Collins.

Rex might be having dinner with La’el Collins tonight, but I

wouldn’t expect the Bills to land him.

    • I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.   
    • Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.
    • It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
