No clue, was just sent the gif of the office where the three are doing finger guns at each other with the note “may have a 3rd contender”.

Yeah, what did you expect him to say publicly? “I signed here because the money was right”. Players talking to the media is about 90% filtered.

Ok....

I think they slow played La'el Collins right out of Cincy. Should have just given up the pick.

Yeah it also sounds honorable as spin for not getting the money you wanted...even if it's genuine.

Confirmed they (Burrow and Collins) went to Carlo and Johnny last night?

“Did joe brrr come back last night with another glass eater? Aka- Collins”

“No they went to CJ last night“

Is Collins still in town? I live in Columbus and they just mentioned him on the radio and said he was expected to sign in the next 24hrs. They were kind of making it sound like it was almost a done deal. Not sure where they were getting they're info.

Unfortunately this will be the sentiment by many on this board if we don't sign LC. It won't be based on the logic of what pick we would have had to surrender, why 31 other NFL Teams didn't offer a pick to get it done, or that we were the most aggressive team trying to sign him once cut. Folks will just be mad that we didn't get their guy.

Saw someone say it was basically done, just waiting on the physical.

Let's hope so.

Oh so the first gif of Joey as a doctor wasn’t correct because the new gif shows 3 people from the office in a stand-off?

Lmao

Yes, Malik is saying it and Rapien is reporting it based on Malik's tweet.

As we have seen numerous times in FA, basically done and done are not the same thing (Ogunjobi, Smith, Gregory).

BREAKING NEWS:

New gif gives insight into Bengals and La’el Collins situation as it stands at 12:59 PM EST on Saturday, March 19th.

[Bengalfan4life27c]

So we either sign Collins or we enter the draft with 3 gaping holes on the roster with 2 being on the line and what kind of talent is their at 31 , 62, 93 to fill. This is not what teams coming off a SB appearance normally do.
