Chiefs La'el Collins will sign as a free agent - Page 9

According to Gil Brandt on Sirius/XM radio. He will sign with an NFL team and that means he'll pretty much play at a minimum contract.

Sounds like he's talking with investigators early next week.

Go get him, Dorsey!

He said if he wasn't drafted rounds 1 thru 3, he wouldn't sign a contrAct.

Apparently that hasn't been figured out here yet

it's better to be undrafted than to be drafted after the 2nd round

he'll end up sacrificing about $1M up front to be able to sign a long term deal 2 years earlier than anyone who was drafted if he lives up to his potential

even if he's not extended after 2 years, if he gets designated as a 1st round tender year 4 he'll make every bit as much as the 40th pick in the draft this year will make approx his first 4 NFL years of service

so now you're asking .. 'well durr why would any player ever want to be drafted in the 3rd round or later then?!'

cuz they'll get guaranteed signing bonuses ... opposed to undrafted guys who have to prove their worth AND some to take the roster spot of a guy who was just drafted

La'el Collilns won't have to do that. He'll likely get a guaranteed 3 year contract (albeit a total of only 1.5M) if his name is cleared ... which, like most 3rd round picks, will guarantee his roster spot regardless of play for at least 2 years

Sometime next week I fully expect the bracelets to be slapped on him when the timelines don't match.

It's not that I haven't figured that out, I just think he was bluffing. No way he wants to sit for a year.

**srvy** · 05-03-2015, 07:24 PM

Maybe he hired a hit?

He did fly back from Chicago just before the Draft he could have waited till after there was no Warrant out for him.

On the Other hand if the kid turns out to be his then he could have a real problem on his hand's.

He can't even sit for a year the NFL said he will not be able to enter the next draft.

Possible but if the kid isn't his that theory doesn't really make sense.

**DaKCMan AP** · 05-03-2015, 07:28 PM

If he was a QB he'd have been drafted #1 overall. Fatty discrimination.

**srvy** · 05-03-2015, 07:34 PM

Guess I am just suspicious when you dont talk to police right away. My guess is he was huddled with lawyers going over and playing out every possible angle the police may take. The cops never say your a suspect anymore about the furthest they take it is person of interest.

God! Now that SNR has pointed it out, your grammar is infuriating. Random capitalizations and pluralizations with an apostrophe. You're killing me.

I know, I know... Grammar Nazi. I blame SNR.
