The reward is greater than the risk. Now if gets his name clear you gotta fight prolly all 32 teams for him.

Because he'd be able to sit out one year and re-enter the draft next year

His agents said they wouldn't sign after the fourth round also (?) I'd of gambled a 7th on him,

Actually a smart move on his part. if drafted and signed he is stuck in the standard rookie contract locked in for 3 to 4 years with and option year still hanging over his head.

By going undrafted, he signs as a UDFA picking his team and can redo his contract as yearly as the end of the second year. 1.75 mill is not much compared to a first rounder but his pay day all rookies wait for comes 2 to 3 years earlier than every one else drafted

so Lloyd of London here he comes for those first two years and insures the heck out of himself. then payday before every player drafted.

say what they want about the agent. I say Smart move.

now give him all he wants and sign this kid. guarantees all day long

I thought they said he wasn't eligible for the '16 draft

If he was drafted and then sat out a season, he'd be eligible.
Since he wasn't drafted, he's not eligible.

Ohhhh, ok cool i must of misread that thanks

The only that is sure is that until he signs, apparently no one knows what's going on:

there were reports that he met with Ryan. Guess those aren't true

And the plot thickens:

Ex-LSU football star La'el Collins has told police he has an airtight alibi in the murder of the pregnant woman suspected of carrying his child ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Sources close to the investigation tell us ... Collins -- who was a projected 1st round NFL draft pick before the double murder -- spoke with investigators and said he has witnesses and phone records that prove he was nowhere close to Brittney Mills on the night she was gunned down.

Snagging him would be like getting a little revenge on Roger for the bounty years... It would seem like we got another first... Who knows whrere he signs but at least let us be in the mix.....

Sounds like he and his agent are chasing the money
Dont think we see him in black and gold
