Going to be like college recruiting for him

"Collins, now an undrafted free agent, had meetings scheduled with officials from the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins for Monday night and Tuesday morning, a source close to Collins told The Advocate. Collins has received interest from “almost every” NFL team over the past few days and will likely meet with several teams over the next few days, the source said."

Has anyone mentioned this to Sean Payton? I wonder if the Saints would be interested?

DID YOU KNOW that Dolphins President Mike Tannenabum used to work for the agency and the agents that represents Collins.Just something to keep in mind when Collins is ready to sign with an NFL team.


I saw that on Twitter.

The Dolphins may have the upper hand.

I'm decent friends with his brother. I talked to him about where La'el wants to go (before this all happened). He said the only team he doesn't want to play for is the Saints. Been in LA his whole life and wants to get out.

He didn't specify if La'el had a favorite.

He could make endorsement money in Louisiana, but I'm assuming he wants to play T and not G

Go see the world big man.

I would love a chance to be a millionair in Dallas, new York, San Diego, Phoenix, hell even Cincy or nashville.

Well that's my point. He's not going to be a millionaire until his 2nd contract. He's going to get the league minimum.

The bills have one of the best oline coaches in the NFL with kromer

He needs to go to a place where he can showcase his talent and have cap space after 3 seasons

A change of scenery can be very refreshing. I completely understand La'el wanting to leave, especially after going through this ordeal.

I think that's overplayed. It's not like a Mathieu situation where he hangs out with the wrong crowd who could be a bad influence.

Nothing wrong with him wanting to move somewhere else. I hope he finds a good home and has a lot of success.

It's just personal preference, since this is essentially a college-style recruitment on an NFL level. Some kids want to stay at home, others want someplace new.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. But I seriously doubt he thinks of BR as a place he "has to get away from" now because of this was all I meant.
