According to Connor Orr of NFL.com, the Giants were among the teams “thinking” about Collins during the draft, but scouting director Marc Ross says New York wasn’t going to take that type of risk. Link - ( New Window )
should he turn out to be in big legal trouble, because there is a roster limit. You can only have so many guys under contract. If you sign La'el Collins and have to cut him a week or two or three later, some of the better UDFAs you may have wanted are already gone and with other teams.
If Collins is innocent of all involvement, he's been well and truly screwed by all of this.
It seems that he's not really the prime suspect, just someone they're talking to.
I don't know anything about the 6/7 round picks- maybe they're all stars. But more likely theyre off the team in 4 years. I'd rather have La'el and a potential 1st round talent than those guys.
I'm thinking he will wait until clreaded before signing w/ a team Â
With all of his draft prep I can't imagine he was even around. But it's seemingly costing this kid millions. He's a first or second round talent. The Giants should be all over this kid.
in this kids life. He chooses a team, plays well for a few years....an he will get his money. If innocent then he should have a chip on his shoulder and be great.
With the Domestic Abuse problems this past season, I'm sure all the Â
By all accounts Collins is suppose to be a high character guy. You would like to believe that good people do not do something like this. For this young man you hope he is not involved and can clear his name quickly.
With the incidents of Domestic Abuse last season, I'm sure the league knows alot more than before. If you start to understand some of the statistics, I don't think it's surprising that all teams passed on drafting Collins.
But sad facts. I would love the Giants to sign this kid if he is cleared. I hope they would, but knowing the Giants, I doubt it.
I have to believe Collins "sits" and re-enters the draft next year. He lost a lot of money but if he plays this year for UDFA money and struggles, he really loses.
Depends upon his character and how good he thinks he can be. If he wants to play, I pray the GIANTS go after him HARD.

The league has said as an undrafted player, he's not eligible for the draft again. link - ( New Window )
Can't re-enter draft, won't allow him in the supplemental Â
IF he is innocent,IF he wants to play in new york with the likely media glare he would face he would be a great player for the lowest deal
hope odel and randle are doing their bit to recruit him
no loss here from giants side,no charges no evidence against him no blame on the giants here
if they sign him worst case he turns out to be involved and they cut him no worse than any UDFA that doesnt cut it on the team
they can continue to pay beatty with collins on the roster to cover injury,and by the time hes looking at the next contract they can then decide if collins is worth signing to a longer deal and could use the money they are paying beatty now to pay him instead if not they draft another OT
I wonder how high he would've gone in a supplemental draft? Â
I think there was total collusion and all teams were told not to draft him. It is the only explanation. I am shocked not one team spent a 7th on this guy just to retain his rights to negotiate a deal.
Tell him you play one year under your current deal and we'll renegotiate it or whatever. All if you are cleared.

Imagine coming out of the draft with 4 1st round talents? Would make up for losing the 4th.

Even if undrafted? I didn't think of that but I guess you are correct.
1/3 of Female homicide victims - killer was an intimate partner.
If the weapon was a gun or the women was pregnant the % goes up.
The leading cause of death for pregnant women is murder.
Truly feel bad for Collins if he wasn't involved. But teams would be taking a risk by signing him before he is cleared.
No. there are rules against it. UDFA's have a slot too.

Clearly a reason to gun down a woman who is preggie.....
