Now there is a bidding war? Now lots of teams are in the mix? I would think his agent this past week when discussing trade ideas with teams also discussed contract ideas should Collins be cut. His market value was fairly well set by the day he was out.

I don't think they test for weed anymore. Correct me if I am wrong on that. As for guaranteed money being the hold up, that sounds like pure speculation, albeit a good guess. I am not optimistic this gets done. Sounds like Collins will go where the most money is, which likely won't be us.

I honestly think he can be someone of Collins caliber if surrounded by the right people. Though I think you can put almost anyone between Zach Martin and Dalton Schultz and they'd have a decent season. With Prince, I don't think we can depend on him to compensate for a lesser skilled player to his left or right but should be able to hold his own if he's lined up next to capable players. If we don't sign Collins, bummer....but I wouldn't be too upset over it. I think Cappa and Karras instantly make Williams and Prince better. This would the make or break year for both of them if they are left in as the starters.

Where are these rumors coming from of guaranteed money being the issue? I've seen nothing like this anywhere outside of this thread..

Just people jumping to conclusions is all. We will know something tonight. I expect us to get something worked out with Collins. Man, our OL would be upgraded big time. Jonah - Carman - Karras - Cappa - Collins You never know we might add Tretter too and move Karras to LG.

So if we do sign him make it short term not long term with the concerns he presents You need to read more. The 1/2 year contract idea was beyond odd. He will command a multi-year deal around 10M or more. He is very good.

I've heard nothing but positive vibes from people that actually have inside info. It's annoying to see so much misinformation being spread on our own board. Paul Dehner Jr. said earlier today that we don't seem to be too interested in Tretter. Not yet anyway. Would be a dream.

We will see. I am not going to get depressed until something actually does or doesn't happen lol I think if we aren't interested in Tretter it has to be because Pollack really likes what he sees from Karras at Center and I am fine with it. Either way the interior is upgraded big time and Collins is most likely going to solidify the right side as well. I am feeling the positive vibes myself Bengalpool. |
