re: Collins being an UDFA - It could end up a bidding war

A no tax state has a bigger financial advantage than the amount of signing bonus offers La'el. So a team maybe like miami that can offer no state tax as well as a large chunk of the udfa bonus pool is the most financially advantage type situation.
Bigger picture, the position la'el can play and franchise he can have the most success with in 2 yrs should trump all for his next pay day.

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.
This ^
His signing bonus can't exceed $88K also. That's the alotted amount each team has available for UFA.
The only thing he has up on the other players is that his contract is only three years, compared to four years like other drafted players. First rounders have a fifth year team option, and if La'el succeeds like many of us expect then a team would be able to tender him after three years when he's a RFA.

Because that team would have his rights, therefore another team wouldn't have the option of signing him.

Had Arizona used a 7th on him, would prevent Seattle for getting him for nothing. Its not complicated a minor point he was making.

Because the team that drafted him would have the rights to him. He could choose to sit out the year, but no one else would be able to sign him
Therefore a division rival wouldn't be allowed to sign him by league rules
Seriously?

Collins would not have signed had he been drafted. If he was drafted he could have opted not to sign and then re-entered in the 2016 draft. So no, him being drafted would not have been a good decision for a team.

No kidding.
I don't see how that prevents another team from getting him "at a major discount".
All rookies from the 4-7 rounds and UDFA are going to get the same salary. The only variance is going to be in the signing bonus. So by drafting him in the 7th round I'm not quite sure you are preventing a competitor from getting him "at a major discount".

as opposed to drafting a guy that will likely be cut ? Upside is you convince a first round pick to sign on for cheap, downside he doesn't and you're out a pick that is worthless 90% of the time. Reward>>>>risk

because he can entertain multiple teams right now......had he been drafted, he'd be obligated to THAT team that drafted him in the 7th

if I have his rights, my competitor does not. If he has to re-enter the draft next year, then my competitor will have to use a higher pick to get him. No discount.
Are you dense?

Notable 7th round picks: Marques Colston, Matt Hasslebeck, Donald Driver, Rayfield Wright, Shannon Sharpe.
Draft picks are extremely valuable in today's NFL. They see every pick as important. None are wasted.

So yeah, that prevents a competitor from signing him. Not from signing him "at a major discount". A team drafting him in the 7th round would be paying him the same amount of money as a team signing him as an UDFA. the "discount" factor to his comment was irrelevant. If you were to draft him you would have exclusive rights to the player, but you aren't preventing someone else from signing him cheaper.
