He's been playing good ball for them the last few years on a cheap contract. He would've otherwise commanded a top 2 round deal/contract from whoever drafted him. Sure he's getting paid now, but he has missed out on millions, possibly tens of millions,


unless he has some catastrophic, career impacting/ending injury, he's going to get a life changing contract, it's what Jones does

He got it this year.

I'm talking about how cheap he was the first several years. That was the deal the Cowboys got.

yeah, forgot about that, I lose track of how many stupid player contracts Jones does, Collins may be one of the few to actually earn his money though, La'el didn't miss a thing by what went on around his draft time, in the grand scheme of things

Shouldn’t have brought it up if he wasn’t going to go into detail.

In Al Michaels defense, Collins did have off the field problems before the draft and that’s why he was a free agent signing. The problems weren’t his fault like most people when you say that but they were off of the field.

It’s a complicated story that you can’t really explain in between two plays of a NFL game.


While that's *technically* true, Al should have elaborated more than me did. The way he stated is strongly implied that La'El had discipline or legal problems at LSU, which is patently false. Irresponsible and lazy on Al's part.

I'm still waiting for Adam Shefter's punk arse to apologize to La'el for his "coverage." Shefter wouldn't shut up about it and I feel added to him going undrafted. Luckily it worked out.
