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.
Would you rather “overpay” for a RT, or hope and pray he accepts our offer, while allowing other teams to make offers. When you have such a need at a vital position, and are lucky enough to not only land a top 5 talent at that position, but he’s a good fit with his play and connection to Pollack- you get the deal done. Coffee’s for closers.
