Collins flew into town Thursday. He would have flown to Miami by now if there was interest from both parties. I think Mike Brown knows this might be his last chance to win a super bowl so I don’t expect him to cheap out. If Collins doesn’t sign here, you have to imagine that it will be due to his health.

Spit-balling here but his agent and the Bengals could still be ironing out details, post physical and they told him to go out and hit up a mall to kill some time instead of sitting around the stadium.

Just wow... 

Now Malik is saying Collins is still in town and has another meeting with the team tonight.

That's what I was saying

It's in the opposite direction from CVG or Lunken.

I would say this is EXACTLY what is happening.

That doesn't make any sense.

Those are the same pants he had on yesterday, so probably for extra clothes

At least this wasn’t a gif, actually came out and said it

Killing time until everything is finalized and ready to sign.

Some posts shouldn't require the ninja emoji.

It's funny that SI picked up the Miami guy's report he left town and fans are posting these pics.

It’s actually only about 20 minutes from Lunken.

Yep, if he was pissed about an offer, or wasn't going to sign he'd be on a plane and not at the mall. Maybe the medicals went out to a specialist for 2nd opinion.

Hope your instincts are right.  It's actually quite plausible.

Per Malik Wright on Twitter:

“Hey Barry he has another meeting tonight with the team

I’ve spent the last hour confirming that

Collins visit is still ongoing it hasn’t concluded.”

What? These reports are all over the place. Getting on a plane. Going to Miami. Still in town and another meeting with the Bengals tonight. I'll hang onto this last one for hope.

With what goes on around here...ninja emoji is always necessary.

Like I said, all those reports came from the Miami guys tweet and they ran with it. Why would a guy in Miami know?

Haha.  Noted for future reference.
