La'el Collins?

Why not take this guy in the 6th or 7th round? Risk/reward

 

I'm guessing teams called him and he stuck to his guns about refusing to sign and entering the 2016 draft.

 

He can't enter the NFL draft the NFL already said. He also can't go to the supplemental draft. If he is undrafted, the NFL has said he will be a free agent and not available for any future draft.

 

if he is undrafted can we call him and say : look sign for us and if you are innocent we will give you a 2nd/3rd salary ..

 

Pretty much.

 

I've thought about that too. "If you're innocent, you have nothing to lose and A LOT to gain...!"

 

If Im correct (something Im not very often) do not UDFA sign for league min for 2 years?

 

Dunno about salary, but their signing bonus isn't capped. UDFAs often get more signing money than 7th round picks.

 

OK Im confussed!!

 

Yes it was something you said. UDFA sign for league min for 3 years . Than a post or 2 latter said....Salaries, however, are not capped. A team could lure him with a big salary.?????

 

So if we wanted to sign this guy at 15 mil a year we could????

His salary is restricted under the rookie salary pool….so its not like he can get a multi million dollar contract….essentially every team can offer approx same amount of money….UDFA’s are restricted to the league-minimum, $1.44 million over three years. The only negotiating point is the amount of guaranteed money.

 

If he is cleared do you think the Steelers would give him an offer?

They can' be totally satisfied at Tackle right? Not after the way both of them got manhandled against the Ravens.

They didn't draft one so I don't know?

Maybe Munch wants one more year trying to turn around Adams.

 

I had read somewhere his bonus was limited to 90k but his salary was not limited because he is a undrafted FA.

ALSO, the Steelers need to go after him, seriously!!!!

do you think they will try or they will pass at all ?

 

No team is going to touch this guy for awhile, he could be another Rae Carruth.

 

I say if everything works out for the guy with this issue (as they've said they are just questioning him/etc and hes not a suspect yet)...I would reach out to him...why not?

He could be Fosters replacement next year. The league already said he cant join the 2016 draft or the supplemental draft...and I think he only hurt himself by saying the whole he'd refuse to sign a deal if not drafted by day 2 and such.

While he may not get a big money initial contract he could at least sign with a winner and earn that money!

 

What reason did Goofdell ,give for not letting him enter in 2016??
