NFL teams can't meet with La'el Collins yet, and here's why http://wp.me/p14QSB-9LwQ 

 

 

Sexy Rexy may be in a bit of trouble in his zeal for La'el and a meal.

I would like for us to sign Collins, but will not be heartbroken if we don't,it's not like he would be the LT of our future.

Plus 2016 has arguably a better class of tackles than this one, headlined by Tunsil and Stanley.

Won't open. Why not? Nevermind it opened. So can we bring him here then?

I'm not sure to be completely honest.  It stipulates "at campus" or "at home of" but that may just be the wording they chose to pull from the rules.  You know how reporters are...

Could you imagine the uproar if he did choose us but JR refused to sign him. "We are flattered Collins would choose the Panthers, but according to my pie chart.. We good.. But thanks for trying."

I wouldn't think so, until finals are over at the earliest.  My thinking is that the league office probably told the teams to "Wait a minute here and back the fug up!"  Teams probably will respect the spirit of the rules even if there is some kind of loophole. Moreover, I am thinking that this is why his agent is now saying that Collins is not meeting with NFL teams.

Florio is a lawyer and knows his stuff. If there was something in the CBA that showed Rex explicitly violated a rule, he would have found it and reported it. He loves the opportunity to create controversy. It appears the Bills found a loophole that exists solely because there has never been a similar situation to the one Collins has right now and may never be again. There has never been a UDFA that elicited recruiting visits from teams before. I suspect it will get changed in the future but for now I don't think Rex broke any rule despite violating the spirit of the rule.

I feel like La'el was like "free dinner? alright" knowing that he'd never play for Buffalo... poor Rex.

Actually I was thinking that about a lot of his visits.  

 

I tell you, if this kid is actually innocent, then his agent is smart as fug.  I can just hear him saying:

 

"We gonna play these fools like a Stradivarius, kid.  You go on the world tour and be treated like the MVP. Just don't say anything crazy and get your head all turned around by the steak and lobster and such.  It's all an act, kid.  Have your fun, and then go on to Charlotte and beat out the movie star..."

they are already trying.

 

so......you are already wrong

 

Where is your proof? I'm talking proof of source to Panthers mangement and ownership

[YoungPanthers89]

Such a weird situation

[mc52beast]

Heard the NFL AM.crowd talking about him, said there were 4 teams interested... Panthers weren't one of them

[top dawg]

Well, it's not really stopping the Phins from going about business

 

Three former LSU players now with the Dolphins went to Baton Rouge on Tuesday to court Collins, a person familiar with the situation said. The person said the players went on their own, and no Dolphins official made the trip.
