La'el Collins?

Not sure...but I've read from numerous places that the league already said he can't...he will just remain a FA. Not sure if theres a rule or something, not sure.

 

You declare for a draft. You do not like the team that drafted you. You say Im not signing with that team. Im reentering the draft next year to see if I get drafted by a better team. Imagine the can of worms that would open.

 

Could this end the Gilbert and Adams era finally?
Yes please sign him.

 

Well, he did say that "after" he was denied from pulling out due to his circumstance and at least being placed in the supplemental draft. Kind of crappy since he was projected as a first rounder, then fell all the way out of a nice guaranteed payday due to Police questioning.

 

He's visiting a ton of teams now. I don't get why we didn't just lock him up with a 7th round pick...

 

Collins would play guard... He'd be replacing Foster. Sure, he's tackle capable, but I don't think that would be his best position in the NFL.

Unfortunately for the Gilbert haters, he's not going anywhere for a while. The only starting roster spot on the OL up for grabs is Foster's LG spot. Or if they move DD there, then RG. Any of the back up spots in my mind should be up for grabs though. If Villanueva beats out Adams, then cool. If not, I'm not losing any sleep over it.

 

Saw Collins conference in Dallas. Man... I hope the Steelers at least gave this guy a phone call or offer... something. He sounds like a man on a mission to be the best.

 

Apparently he had offers from all 32 teams.

 

Why would anyone want to play for the cowboys It has to be because they get all the media attention,, man that place is a circus

 

You know damn well that it's a bigger local market and has a substantial fan base. Which was probably pointed out by Jerry Jones and his henchmen to him and his agent regarding how much he could make outside the salary in marketing dollars.

How much you want to bet that he signs a nice lucrative deal locally soon? (soon, meaning at a time Jerry can arrange it to look legit)

 

Not sure where Collins is from, but if he is from Louisiana, the Cowboys are close enough he can go back and forth for the investigation, etc fairly easy. That may have been a factor, just a guess on my part. They have a great offensive line and I'm sure that was a selling point, plus they are a big media covered team. Jerry probably offered some legal counsel help I'm sure.

Actually I think Jerry took him on a tour of the facilities, right past the where the cheerleaders were practicing and the contract was signed right there.

 

I think if I am truly gifted and have a choice
of where i could play, I think I would choose a warm weather climate and be close to family and friends. Looks like the kid, did just that.
