Why does everyone keep talking about collins signing with us?
Why would we have more of a shot than 31 other teams?

I really think the answers to these questions are pretty obvious. If they aren't, here's a few:

1. Gets to live and play 80 miles from his hometown,

2. Friends and family only 80 miles away to provide his support group,

3. The Saints showed great interest in him before the bizarre events unfolded,

4. Hometown fans will accept him more readily than a new city,

5. Media in bigger markets may be more critical,

6. He gets to play with a future HOF QB,

7. The Saints are still a solid playoff team, and

8. The team needs his talent (for additional proof, see #3).
