How many fans can we get to the airport?

I gotta do it. Is he flying coach?
RE: What Would La’el Collins Cost in Trade? - Bengalbug - 03-17-2022
Collins would be the biggest (best) Outside FA signing on the offensive side of the ball I have ever seen… I think. Fwiw I’m 36.
I would have said ever, except reader and Hendrickson have proved to be incredible.
I guess maybe on par with Bobbie williams, Jon kitna (if you want to go that route, I don’t). Our biggest attempts were swings and misses Antonio Bryant and laverneous coles.

I don’t think it matters, I don’t think he leaves here without a deal. If he does, shame on the bengals.

Yes. I think there's a great chance it gets done.

It is a match made in heaven. Prior history/connections LSU/Pollack and a need RT

I can make sure he doesn't leave, I can turn the restaurant and then something like from the Twilight zone.

Yes. I just hope he doesn't have red flags. Curious Noone traded for him.

It turns out that our OL Coach, Frank Pollack, also spend three seasons with Collins in Dallas (2015-2017). If he thinks it is a good fit, then there's a real possibility here. Don't want to get my hopes too high, but it's probably too late now that I know he's coming for a visit.

Dallas was holding out for much higher pick it seems....?

33 pages on this La'el Collins thread so far. If he saw this, he'd know how much we want him here in Cincinnati.

Good call, there is really no reason this kid should be on the market. It's going to be hard to figure the market value especially with teams able to clear space so easily. This would be such a big deal, turning the worst right side of the line to possibly the best within a few days.
RE: What Would La’el Collins Cost in Trade? - TecmoBengals - 03-17-2022
I guess it's time to barricade the doors and refuse to let him leave until he signs the contract?
RE: What Would La’el Collins Cost in Trade? - THE PISTONS - 03-17-2022
I'm going to be staking out Cincy Wendy's for a chance to talk Collins into signing here!

Best is questionable. I’d say, overall, they go from bottom 5 to somewhere in the 12-16 range… with upside. Huge improvement. Without shoring up RT or C, they may be closer to 16-20.

I'll go get a Collins jersey made if they pull this off.

Or he would think me and couple others were psychos....

Here is the real question, will Burrow be dinner tonight with the rest of the brass? If yes, he is a bengal, if not… 50/50.
