Yeah. I think the idea that you need to release good players to create cap is a fallacy. Teams re-structure contracts all the time without sacrificing assets. Teams weren't exactly falling over themselves to sign him, either, and he inked a similar "bargain deal" with the Bengals. I don't want to be paranoid about it but i could see how there may be lingering questions about Collins' durability- something like that, anyway- that might have had more to do with his release than his cap tag.
