The Gipper Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 La'el Collins signs with Cowboys. Somebody should have drafted him to keep him away from those asshats. I am of the opinion that he will be cleared and all this fear about him will have been unsubstantiated......but now that he has gone to the Cowboys? Maybe arrest his ass?: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25177455/report-cowboys-sign-lsu-tackle-lael-collins?FTAG=YHF7e3228e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Damn them. Does this push them to the leaderboard for best draft (even if La'el Collins went undrafted)? With Gregory, Jones and Collins, they got 3 of CBS' Top 20. Unfortunately, the rest of their draft was basically garbage (if you judge solely on ranking grades) - as the rest of their picks hovered in the 190 -300 range.

Maybe the Cowboys are the team that needs a new Motto. How about: Risky Business? The question is: who is going to get fucked on a train....the Cowboys or their opponents?

Opal312 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Do you know how much the contract was for? I bet they got him on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Do you know how much the contract was for? I bet they got him on the cheap. Fully guaranteed with performance and max roster bonuses. Should be worth $1.7 million over 3 years. If he gets a high RFA tender in 2018, he could end up making more than most second round picks this year. Not a bad move by his agent, to be completely honest.

Westside Steve Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I don't know why we didn't risk a low pick. But yeah it was a smart move for him. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconHound Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 A steal if they wrote into the contract suspension language. If he plays this could very well be the steal of the draft. I thought the Browns should pulled the trigger in the 6th but rumor was he was asking for 2nd, 3rd round money, fucking rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runyon27 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I still dont understand why someone didn't draft him in the 7th, especially those teams with compensatory picks. Its a free pick in the last round. I wanted us to pick him or Ifo in the 7th and we took Ifo so I was fine with that. The Cowboys line already probably the best just got better.

gumby73 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Understand the Kid was tied into a terrible situation at the worst time but, I believe his Rookie Contract would have been the same at any team but know the Kid can pick the team HE wants to play for??? WOW to that coming out of College.. Hell a clean Lebron and Kobe came out of HS had no choice like that.. Somebody should have took him later the better. Lesson Learned..

Flyin J Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think there was an agreement between all the teams and the league that nobody would draft him. There is no reason someone didnt make him a 7th round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudfly Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 His agent made it clear that he wouldn't sign a contract if drafted on day 3. yep.....his team definitely put the word out NOT to draft him.... Im sure a team could have, but that would've been a real contentious start for anybody who really wanted him...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 So basically, the player dictated to the NFL with who he would play for.......... Dangerous precedent to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Fully guaranteed with performance and max roster bonuses. Should be worth $1.7 million over 3 years. Contract can also be renegotiated as part of an extention in year 3 and Jerrah promised to do so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 and if hardy, gregory and collins turn out to be what a lot of suspicious-minded people think they will then jones looks like the biggest ass in the league. can't wait to see what happens when the trio starts smoking bath salts.....

Tour2ma Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 So basically, the player dictated to the NFL with who he would play for.......... Dangerous precedent to say the least. A player selecting a team is not exactly unprecedented... Elway? Eli? Bernie? The difference is that the above all landed 1st-round money in their rookie contract while Collins lost millions that he will never recoup even if he stays healthy for two years. So Collins has blazed a trail that I don't see anyone barreling down behind him anytime soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 A player selecting a team is not exactly unprecedented... Elway? Eli? Bernie? The difference here is that all of those players were drafted by a team and/or then traded to another team, all of which was totally out of their control. Sure, they could choose not to play for the team that drafted/traded for them, but that was their only recourse. Collins completely and totally controlled his outcome and was able to sign with whatever team he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBrown Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Of all the teams he could have signed for he chose the Cowboys who already have a great O line. Found that a bit weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opal312 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Let's say he was drafted in the seventh. The team that drafted him could have negotiated for more than Dallas or whoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
