BTW Gin, he was cleared of any charges and was never a suspect. I would sue the ever loving fuck out of the police for doing that shit. No accountability. Sue them for investigating a muder?

Just trying to make Richie Incognito look like a nice guy by comparison.
I heard Rex has also put out feelers to Hernandez and Rae Carruth.

What does unsanctioned mean? Meeting was not set up through Collins agents. Rex apparently contacted him directly. So it's like talking to cops without your lawyer present. He should know by now!

From one of the articles it appears that he dated the woman about 6 months ago and hadn't been seeing her since. Kid was possibly his, but it looks like he was associated with her a long time ago. People are jumping to some major conclusions based off of super circumstantial evidence. There was a kid in my high school who went to prison for 20 years after being busted for being part of a major drug ring in North NJ. Technically I knew him, but that doesn't make me a bad person by default.

Rex is going to continue to be a thorn in the Jets side for the next 5 years Seriously? I think you'll see he'll be the same ol' Rex and won't be able to get out of the way of himself.

Question for the masses. Given that teams are limited how much they can spend on undrafted rookies since there is a fixed rookie pool, does Buffalo have an advantage on how much they could pay La'el Collins given they did not have a first round draft this year ?

Question for the masses. Given that teams are limited how much they can spend on undrafted rookies since there is a fixed rookie pool, does Buffalo have an advantage on how much they could pay La'el Collins given they did not have a first round draft this year ? this article explains it pretty well With the draft over, we hit the fast and furious UDFA signing period, which is where La’El Collins now sits. So let’s take a quick look at the rules regarding the signings, specifically in regards to Collins. Every undrafted rookie is locked into signing a three year contract. The three year contract will contain the minimum Paragraph 5 salary in each year, which will equal payouts of $435,000 in 2015, $525,000 in 2016, and $615,000 in 2017. These are the same numbers as rookies drafted after the 3rd round and many of the players drafted in the third round, so it is not a major loss for Collins of any player who was not projected to be a 2nd round pick. The UDFA’s are very limited in terms of signing bonus money. I don’t have the final number in front of me but IIRC each team can spend, in total, about $88,000 on all their undrafted rookies. That usually means a large number of players receiving signing bonuses that will not exceed $8,000. So that is a limiting factor for a player who is not drafted. The smallest signing bonus a 7th round pick will receive likely to be about $52,000. So that is a pretty big loss considering for many players the bonus is the only salary they will ever receive. At the end of the three year contract, every UDFA will be a restricted free agent while a drafted rookie will have a fourth contract year. Teams select from one of three RFA salaries for the UDFA’s. The smallest tender for that year will be $1.785 million. Every drafted rookie (except punters and kickers) is also eligible to see their contracted salary rise to the smallest tender level based on playing time. So if Collins does not have a great career but is ok he will basically trail every drafted rookie that is ok by the signing bonus. However if he excels and earns the 2nd or 1st level tender he will earn at least $2.73 or $3.88 million in the final year. No drafted rookie can do that, so that would allow him to move his overall salary take back into the 2nd round level of the draft. Every UDFA is extension eligible after just two seasons, so a very good player can get extended much earlier than the draft pick who must play three years. If I was Collins agent and that was a goal of mine I would strongly consider signing with a team like the Bengals, 49ers, Packers, or Patriots among others. These are the teams that typically like to extend talent early if possible and you may get that quicker extension from them if you do play like a first rounder. Similarly teams like the Texans and Giants have already proven they will avoid the RFA process for great talent like Arian Foster or Victor Cruz. Those are the kind of teams you may get that faster value from. Now there is nothing in the process that prevents a team from guaranteeing large amounts of salary to UDFA. This is how many teams lure a UDFA while complying with the signing bonus rules. It is not uncommon to see a UDFA receive a salary guarantee equal to a Practice Squad salary (slightly over $100,000) and in some cases double that. For Collins that presents an opportunity to attempt to receive a three year guarantee of $1,575,000. That guarantee would be equivalent to a late 2nd rounders guarantee through his signing bonus and salary guarantee. I doubt a team would be willing to make that investment now, but if Collins waits until the summer to sign they might if his name is cleared. In theory that could also give him time to see how teams depth charts are beginning to shape up and where he will get the most opportunity to play. This is also important because if e starts he would likely be a leader in Performance Based Pay which is based on playing time relative to your cap charge. Last year the league leader received nearly $375,000 in PBP. He would certainly earn more than highly drafted players further shrinking the gap. So the avenues are there for Collins or any UDFA to make up for losses by not being drafted if they carefully select the team and are quality NFL players. UDFAs are never given the opportunity of a draft pick nor do they usually get the financial security, but they will be rewarded if they prove the NFL scouts wrong for pushing them out of the draft.

What does unsanctioned mean? I think it's French or something. You should go on strike until someone gives you a good answer.
