La'el Collins will sign as a free agent
 
According to Gil Brandt on Sirius/XM radio. He will sign with an NFL team and that means he'll pretty much play at a minimum contract.

Sounds like he's talking with investigators early next week.

Go get him, Dorsey!

Collins has no leverage whatsoever. He has to sign for very cheap per NFL rules.

Come sign with us, La'el! Our coach loves fat guys!

He'll have the leverage of teams bidding on him signing

Does the rookie FA system allow money to be thrown at FA rookies? Assuming he didn't do murder things this is a really odd instance of a 1st round guy floating around as a rookie FA.

If that's the case you offer him the highest amount and say we will have an open competition for our RT. KC should have an advantage since we have an opening.

Nope. Maximum undrafted rookie salary (think it's about $400K) and very strict rules about max bonuses.

I'm sure the NFL was trying to avoid situations like this where a player can get paid a shitload of money even if they went undrafted.

Someone posted the rules regarding the rules for signing UDFAs,

But teams are very limited in what they can offer financially, so teams will not be able to outbid one another.
So it will come down to who he wants to play for.

Not really. Teams won't be bidding on him. I'm sure every team will throw a max rookie contract at him. He'll probably make a decision based on where he can make the most year 1 impact. It will have nothing to do with year 1 money.

He'll sign with a team that hands him the starting spot.

O.city 05-03-2015 07:46 AM

I'd hand him our rt spot right now

O.city 05-03-2015 07:54 AM
