I know that we are strong contenders on landing him. He is getting a free meal from Rex right now. Listen, he said it would be a dream to play for the Saints. It's hard for me to see us not signing him soon.

You mean it was all a ploy to sign with the Saints?

Operation "Deez Nutz" is in full force. To answer your question, precisely. He will fetch offers from other teams but I just don't see us not counter offering his best offer to play in the BnG. May the 4th be with you

I was a big fan of his. If he is INNOCENT, It'd be great to have him.

As I understand it there is a certain limit on how much a team can offer an UDFA under the CBA. We could't offer him a $5mil deal for example. Could a wealthy businessman offer him an endorsment deal if he signed with a certain team?

I think it will come down to where he feels comfortable going. It will also depend on wether he views himself as a guard or a tackle. If he wants to play tackle we can scratch him off our list because then he will go to a team with less competition.

A wealthy business man offering deals would surely be a violation/manipulation of the cap.

He has to sign for the UDFA contract but can renegotiate in two years. The big issue i read yesterday is the advantage that teams in Miami and Texas hold as there is no state tax

quickest way he can cash in is in 2 years.

Get the feeling that Collins would rather play tackle over guard because of the pay day, tender issue that he'll arrive at a year sooner because of the path his draft experience has taken...

We may be out of it for that reason...

The fact that Saints officials haven't met with him yet is another consideration...

The only position that may be available on our line would be at right guard with Evans' age, cap number; and we do pay our guards well...

Or he beats Lelito out in this camp; I'm in Team Lelito's camp and think he'll be great get as a starter...

Should Collins come in and compete at Tackle and win out, he could allow for a trade of either Strief or Armstead with the latter the only player to gain significant value...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
