La'el Collins signs with Cowboys

[rmoneyg35]

We should of drafted him with a seventh round pick so at least he couldn't sign with anyone else.

Here's the deal on La'el Collins deal with Dallas: Cowboys fully

guaranteed the 3-year, $1.65 million deal, per source. Fully

guaranteed.

@RapSheet: #Cowboys considered drafting an OL in 1st rd to play guard, then take over for Doug Free in a year or 2. They got La’El Collins for it now

Key word here is "higher".

 

We had David fuging Foucault taking meaningful snaps for us at OT last year.  Think about that.  I'm not saying that James Hurst would've solved our OT issues by a long shot, I'm simply saying that he was better than guys we had on the roster last year.  Hell, I'd say he was better than all but Remmers.

 

you'd be wrong because foucault actually graded out higher than him when he got snaps

 

again, nobody would know or care who he was if he wasn't a tar heel and we didn't live in a state with the highest concentration of wal mart UNC fans in the country

Should also point out that La'el Collins ' coach at LSU was Les

Miles, who was a former Cowboys' assistant coach. Solid

relationship there

For all those who are blindly defending Gettleman and the Panthers on this one, someone please go find a credible piece of info that links the Panthers to Collins.  I heard Cowboys, Dolphins, Bills, Eagles, Saints, and Giants.  Not a peep about the Panthers.

 

I very well could be wrong, but wouldn't surprise me in the least if J.R. told Gettleman it ain't gonna happen on his watch.

My Dallas Cowboys have Byron Jones with the 1st pick, Randy

Gregory with the 2nd, and La'el Collins as an undrafted. We

gon' be NFC champs

[Cpt slay a ho]

oh please are we doing the james hurst poo again

the guy barely graded higher than byron bell and would have let cam get decapitated just the same. he gave up three sacks in one game last year and had a cumulative PFF grade of close to -40.

nobody here would know or care who he was if he played for iowa state

To play devils advocate hurst was a rookie and bell is like 4 yr pro.....

so you get to make a positive statement that the panthers didn't pursue him at all and everybody else has to prove you wrong

 

cool story bro

People get so hung up on the UNC thing on this board.  I would've been screaming just as loud for Hurst last year if he'd played for NC State.  We needed OTs.  He played OT and was a decent prospect before breaking his leg late in the season.  It was a no brainer.

 

Get over the UNC thing.
