re: *Not, Exactly what La'El wanted.

I dont think there are many teams out there that need a tackle but didnt draft one, not worth taking the chance on maybe taking La'el If he's cleared. Being a Guard for the saints is probably a better bet considering they value guards more than tackles.

ERFA yes. but as the notes from PFT said, the Qualifying Offer would make him.
"Ultimately, Collins can salvage the early portion of his career by signing the standard three-year deal as an undrafted rookie. While he’d be eligible for restricted free agency after three years, the numbers suggest that he’ll do fairly well, given the current amount and the historic growth of the restricted free agency tenders.
If the tenders continue to increase at a rate of five percent annually, Collins could make more than all drafted players except the top 41 picks, based on three years of minimum salaries and the first-round tender for 2018. With the second-round tender, he’ll make more than all but 52 of the picks. With the original-round tender, he’ll make more than all but 65 of the picks.
It’s a formula that demonstrates how little draft picks make beyond round one, relative to undrafted players."
EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENT (ERFA): A player whose contract has expired and has three or fewer tenured years in the league. His original team must make a contract offer by the league imposed deadline or the player becomes an unrestricted free agent. No compensation is awarded for losing EFAs.
RESTRICTED FREE AGENT (RFA): A player whose contract has expired and has fewer than four tenured years in the league. He may sign an "Offer Sheet" with any other team, but his original team has seven days to match any offer he receives. If the original team does not match the offer, compensation will be awarded in the form of draft picks from the signing team. The round and quantity of picks are determined by the "Qualifying Offer" made by the player's original team. If a RFA is tendered a minimum qualifying offer the compensation is the equivalent of the round in which that player was originally selected. If that player was originally a rookie free agent, no compensation is awarded.
OFFER SHEET: A contract offer from another team signed by a RFA, Transition Player, of Franchise Player. The player's original team has seven days to match the offer and retain the player.
QUALIFYING OFFER: An initial contract offer made to RFAs. This offer determines what type of compensation the player's original team receives if the RFA signs with another team. The original team is awarded draft choices from the signing team. The highest compensation is a package of 1st and 3rd round picks. Players tendered minimum offers carry compensation equivalent to the round in which they were originally drafted. For instance, a RFA was originally a 6th round pick, and is given a minimum tender "Qualifying Offer." If he signs an "Offer Sheet" with another team and the original team declines to match the offer, the original team will receive the signing team's 6th round pick. Players who were originally rookie free agents carry no compensation if a minimum qualifying offer is tendered.

They have a clear mistake for RFAs. It's a player with four accrued seasons.
Reread the erfa part. If he signed a three year deal he would be an erfa at the end of it and not a rfa.
There is no way to game the system. He is stuck at minimum salary for four years period. Once he hits his fifth year he will make bucks.

Exactly what he wanted? He ain't getting paid any substantial amount of money.
Posted on 5/2/15 at 7:23 pm to LSUSkip
Just tweeted at him telling him to stay home

Trying to not get my hopes up, but man Collins would be an awesome get. Hopefully being local works in our favor, and he doesn't want to "distance himself from the situation."

you think he's that worried about Lelito?

He comes here he's day 1 starter at LG. There's really zero question about it.

My bad. I must have accidentally logged onto the Rant.
Posted on 5/2/15 at 7:32 pm to Brettesaurus Rex
Not to mention he will be the starting guard for the qb who has produced 3 pro bowl guards over the last 4 years

It's kind of a fricked up situation. It's easy to get excited about the prospect of landing him...then you realize we have this opportunity due to a horrible tragedy. Just completely unprecedented.

Alright, guys get to tweeting. This ain't gonna happen by itself.

Whose Collins bff? Maybe that could influence to another organization

Human nature being what it is, I would think he'd want to stay close to home for family support. Plus, local folks will have a shorter memory than folks in New York, San Francisco, Denver...etc.
