re: Saints should've taken Collins with their 7th round pick

Makes sense on his part to basically shut down being dragted. He gets his second contract a year early (if he stacks up in the NFL), and he gets to choose where he plays. It'll hit him in the pocket on the first contract, but that second one is where the money comes anyway. Sucks that he had to go through this shite, but if his name is cleared, he'll get snapped up immediately. He'll get taken regardless.
