If Collins is found clear of any wrong doing, can his attorney sue the hell out of the BRPD? Any B&G attorneys out there who can chime in?

I just don't know what to think about this matter anymore.

I don't see how
The PD said he was not a suspect but they wanted to question him about the woman. They are doing there job and have not slandered him.

His agent acted like a idiot shouting about not taking him out the draft and then that he wouldnt sign a contract after the 3-4 round and would re-enter the draft next year. He killed any hope of his client being drafted and imho he did it on purpose knowing that as a UDFA he would be a RFA in three years and making more money than a 5th round pick

... so there is someone who can be sued after all.

But what could he sue them for? Defamation? He is not accused of anything.

You think he is guilty of what?

To assume guilt because he may not want to be questioned is such a foolish argument. If he could even be made out as a suspect he should keep his mouth shut, false and coerced confessions are a very real thing.

No one knows what will come of this situation, but I will bet the house some teams have already sent him contracts contingent on the investigation having a positive outcome.

Finished questioning with police this morning and was not arrested.

A handshake agreement to re-negotiate his contract after two years at a certain value to recuperate what he lost would go a long ways.
