That doesn’t preclude a team from drafting him. If a team takes a late-round flier on Collins, and if he’s quickly cleared in connection with what has become a double murder, Collins may decide to get on with his career, putting in a year of service in order to make himself eligible for a new contract after the 2017 season. If Collins sits out for a full year, there’s no guarantee he’ll be drafted in any of the first three rounds in 2016. And he’ll get paid nothing for another 12 months or longer. It’s one thing for Collins to say he’ll sit out for a year. It’s another thing for him to do it. By round six or seven, a team may decide to roll the dice on Collins getting cleared and then deciding not to sit out for a full season. |
My concern is that teams kept away from him this long, which to me implies they might have known something about him character/personality wise that gives them pause. They obviously have done some HW to know whether or not he's a serious suspect or just a person of interest, but combine that with a possible psychological red flag and off the board he goes.
John G, wow, it's been like forever..All good?
OTOH, if he actually becomes a suspect in the murder, you would expect the cowboys to look to sign him.

I'm still on here a lot, just obviously don't post nearly as much as the "old days".
How's everything in the beautiful southwest?

Beautiful as always..
Waiting a year might be an option because he won't turn 22 until this summer, which means he could start his career in 2016 and still be a 26-year-old UFA in March 2020. It just doesn't seem likely that any improvement in his rookie contract will make up for the lost year - in Canada or anywhere else.
