Not surprising. You should edit your title regarding Mills

Not surprising for either. Hope it's true though. Still seems a little speculative.

Dural and Mills - thanks for coming back.
Danielle Hunter, linebacker Kwon Alexander, Jerald Hawkins and Vadal Alexander need you guys big time.
Could be a special season IF we get the QB mess fixed.

For Collins, I assume this validates speculation that Robinson will be back. His stock also is not getting much higher.

Don't understand Mills. Very weak safety class and we're deep at the position. Could be gratitude to Les for sticking with him during the legal process.

Nooo I wish it was the other way around. I don't hate mills but I never cared too much about him. I liked how collins played last year he stepped up his game . I don't blame him get that money!

This is amazing news.

We were never keeping Collins. But Mills, that's a huge one.

He's a pretty good safety, great at the LOS in nickel and dime coverages, and he is obviously decent in one-on-one coverage because he is a former corner.

Great news.

I disagree a bit. Mills got burned a lot two seasons ago but he improved a lot this past season. I think another year for him could propel him next year. I like Mills returning for us and his future. Collins was great and I did not see him staying. Welcome back Mills! Glad to have you!!!

Hey, at least we're keeping some juniors already. Dwayne Thomas should be healthy next year to contribute where Collins left off.

Another year of development never hurts, but he's project by most as the No. 2-3 Safety in this class. Sometimes it's as much about ability as it is about opportunity.

What? If I had the choose, I'd take Mills over Collins to return.

Or maybe he loves LSU and his team and fans so much that he feels that they let everyone down and he wants to come back for what could be a special season
