If this continues to drag out, and he can't get a deal signed, his legal team should turn to this to recoup his money. There are too many signs pointing to this being a silent agreement among the teams to stay away from him in the draft.
Problem there is that "nodding agreements" can be difficult to prove.

All except for the part about his agent saying that if they didn't draft him by the third round then forget about it. Doesn't seem that he would have a case.

Sounds like you have some inside information.

This is why Absolute is absolutely stupid: "HAD" = past tense.
"Paid" also = past tense.
"that would have been inevitably coming" = [bad grammar, but] future tense.
So this would have been avoided if, in the past, he paid an obligation that legally is not due [and the amount has not been and cannot now even be determined] until after the baby is born, paternity test is concluded, suit is filed to seek support, and a support award in a specific amount is awarded.
Well done, you little Nancy Drew, well done.

The way La'el didn't come into town immediately is shady as frick tho.

no doubt, going straight to the police and stating your innocence works every time!!!

I think you may have inadvertently started another rumor.

What you do is listen to your lawyer and follow his advice. You're not obligated to "prove" your innocence. If the police have any interest in you whatsoever, you don't answer questions without your attorney's approval and with him present in the room with you. Period.
I have no idea what Collins' situation is with regard to this crime. But you cannot draw any conclusions about his guilt or innocence based on his talking or not talking to the police.
ETA: If you have about an hour, here's a great video by a law professor on why you should never talk to the police, even if you're completely innocent. LINK

Wasn't he in Atlanta or somewhere prepping for the draft? So it wouldn't make much sense for him to fly back when he was scheduled to be in Chicago in a day or so already.
I'm sure he was being told/advised by those in charge, under the assumption that he is innocent and has nothing to do with the murder, that it would be best to handle this after the draft, not knowing that it would be leaked that he was wanted for questioning in regards to the murder days before the draft. Their reasoning being that if he flew home it would have gotten out and torpedoed his draft stock by association. That unfortunately happened on its own though.

I think you're spot on

It is amazing, Collins name has come up in connection with a brutal crime and most of the discussions are about how much he will or won't make. If he is innocent he will be fine but the main concern right now should be for him as person to be cleared.

I think we may have a "Cousin Eddie" situation on our hands here.

Of course it's easy to 2nd guess from the outside looking in. Put yourself in LC's shoes. He's focused on the biggest day of his life, wondering where he'll get drafted and be living, that paycheck coming his way, and then this news hits him. Regardless of what his "advisors" told him, I think I would've lawyered up as well. At this point I'm not just some joe blow off the street. I'm a can't miss prospect about to make multi-millions and I would want to make sure everything I say is in the presence of a lawyer.

I think they assumed his name wouldn't be leaked out.
then it was and there was no turning back.

Are you seriously trying to say his own lawyer saw him as a suspect? Who needs to go play in the street?
Wouldn't it be more reasonable that he was saying that he was trying get him ruled out as a suspect in the eyes of the police so he could try to get signed with a team? This has been the whole point of the exercise of coming home and deal with this.
He needed to be cleared so he could be drafted and now cleared so he can sign as an UDFA.
Don't get me wrong, he could well have done something as stupid as being involved. But the point was to clear his name.

That's kind of what I've been thinking as well. NOthing to back it up or anything, just my hunch.

What is a "Cousin Eddie" situation?
Posted on 5/4/15 at 5:46 pm to CalTiger53
Im sorry but this has to be the silliest damn thread I have ever read, especially since it is dealing with a murder investigation. What adult post on a message "na-na na-na boo boo, go stick your head in doo doo. I know something you don't know & I'm not telling, but my information is most likely correct." "Hey so in so give me your email and we can see if our rumors match."
Not one bit of the this investigation makes any sense, but neither did taking 49 pair of Jordon Jefferson's shoes make any damn sense either. From the information that has been given to the media, I do not believe anything can be assumed. And to say he should have done this or he should have done if he was innocent, is so silly.
Are any of you guys that are posting he is going to straight to jail, not passing go, not collecting $100, credible? Where are you getting your information? I don't mean names... But is it word on the street? Or do you have a friend, who has a sister, that has the hots for a jailer who overheard something? Are you on bike patrol? Or did you just have a dream about this last night while staying at a holiday inn express?
