La'el Collins, What Do We Know?!?

papz · 05-05-2015, 06:26 AM

Rumor has it that's he wants to get out of LA and experience what else is out there since he's been here his whole life. 3 former Tigers on that Dolphin team and Buffalo is courting him hard as well. I'm going to guess Miami.

I sad.

Right and that's what the fear for Saints fans all along has been...

Bet you hit it on the head and that he'd been our first round pick before the Adam Schefter report started this melt-down...

"For Collins, that presents an opportunity to attempt to receive a three-year guarantee of $1,575,000," wrote NFL salary expert Jason Fitzgerald Sunday on his Over The Cap website. "That guarantee would be equivalent to a late second rounder's guarantee through his signing bonus and salary guarantee."

If Collins plays well in his first two seasons, he could opt out of the third year of his contract and get a much more lucrative extension.

Undrafted La'el Collins targeted by several NFL teams

$1,575,000 is chump change for this gamble. take it.

strong selling point for the saints. 2017 is not a cap strapped year. that is the year of the roll over baby.

with 1.5 mill he can buy a few condo all around the country and live where ever he wants in the off season and still be close to mom during the season.

He's supposed to have an air-tight alibi; he was at a New Orleans Pelicans home game planned in advance with family, friends days before...

The only way he could be connected in a negative light to all this is if he somehow conspired with the tragic murder...

If someone close to him acted on his behalf without his knowledge, he still could get some negative public blowback...

Ask one question. did you do it? answers no then

sign the 1.5 million and all the benifits you can up with. insurance housing cars whatever

1.5 mill in dead cap money is not that big of a deal over two years for what the pay off could be. the guy just does not have the list of off the field problems to think he did it. solid gamble in my book.

less of a gamble than some of the other problem children drafted this year.

Since the baby passed a while after being delivered, will it count as double homicide?

yes

One thing I'd like to see...

If La'el Collins needs some cash to pay back the money his agent(s) are fronting him - it's there...

Reality TV...

20' X 20' room - secured, with La'el Collins and Adam Schefter in the room...

Name of the Show - Why you Sweatin' My PayCheck, Bro?!?

WWL Kattengill said the Saints WILL NOT sign Collins, stating that Payton has some info on the case.
