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! |

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

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.

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.

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. |

Hmm, don't know about this. Collins declared for the draft, he went undrafted. It's not like he was trying to manipulate the system. Yes, he tried to undeclare but the NFL said no. So now he's an undrafted FA. Is there a limit to how much an undrafted FA can make?

In other words, La'el Collins is going to make shitty money in his first contract. Really, really shitty. Doesn't matter what team it is. Every offer will look virtually the same so money really doesn't have anything to do with where he goes. |

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.

Our attractiveness as an organization vs. our attractiveness in availability of Oline spots. I wonder if Dorsey would even make the attempt.
