If Collins would have played out the season with the Pats, and went away in free agency, Pats likely would have received a 3rd round compensatory pick. By trading him to the worst team in football, he essentially moved that pick up from the tail end of the round, to the beginning.He was traded for a compensatory pick (first one ever traded!).
Why can't the Bengals be savvy like that?
The Pats were not going to be able to retain him in FA, so they made the move now to get the comp pick in this next draft instead of the following draft.
