It's Collins agents job to make the best deal for him, and if the Bengals are still in the mix, maybe the agent agreed to let the Bengals match other offers made for his clients services All that I read stated that Collins and the Bengals had a wonderful few days together so I wouldn't close the door on a deal not getting done just yet. I'm sure the Bengals aren't going to sit on their hands either, they need to keep working the phones trying to get a RT in here whether that's Collins or not. Like I say, it could be a leverage move just as easy as a low ball move. Business is business, stay tuned.

I really doubt that it was a low-ball move.  Collins and his agent wouldn't have wasted 3 days here without knowledge of at least a ballpark offer.  The Bengals front office wasted zero time signing Cappa and Karras during the legal tampering period.  They aren't the Warren Sapp/Shaun Rogers era clowns that they once were.  

This is about the agent creating a market and leaving the Bengals hanging last minute.  

I'll have to see pretty convincing evidence to believe that the Bengals didn't give him a legit offer.
