RyanC883 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 If Fish get him i will be so mad same here. I will be mad if we don't, and REALLY mad if he goes to another AFC East team. We should be his top choice: owner who can pay him, basically a starting spot waiting for him, a top NFL running back to block for, and a great HC to play for.
DC Tom Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 So I guess "unsanctioned" means without his agents. I have a feeling Collins' agents are flipping out. I have a suspicion Collins is okay with that. I still think he got bad direction from his agents.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 It sounds like they do have a sanctioned meeting set up for tomorrow but it's after miami. So he flew down tonight and set up dinner without going through the agent to get in first. Smart. Just curious, Yolo. Where did that report come from? That would be great if he did that.
YoloinOhio Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Just curious, Yolo. Where did that report come from? That would be great if he did that.One of the tweets or linked stories. I will look back. could have been espn radio- listening Bomani Jones and they were talking about it. Edited May 5, 2015 by YoloinOhio
purple haze Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Seriously, can we not mount a letter-writing campaign to get Rodak fired? I cannot stand him No need for that. Just don't click on his write-ups. If you really want to get rid of him, that would be the way. But hey, he's entitled to his opinion, and doesn't work for the Bills. I'm no fan of his either, I think he's entirely too negative, so I don't read his stuff for the most part. Same way I tuned out Sullivan. Ha ha, how good of a recruiter would Rex Ryan be in college?!? I was thinking about that earlier today. He would be irresistible. Herm Edwards would be another good recruiter.
YoloinOhio Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/sfl-dolphins-will-reportedly-meet-with-lsu-olineman-lael-collins-on-tuesday-20150504-story.html Fortunately for the Dolphins, new vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum was a partner in the same sports agency, Priority Sports, that represents Collins. And the Dolphins play in one of the few states that doesn't have a state income taxes. The Dolphins also have two vacant starting guard spots, and it's also possible that Collins could served as a starting tackle as a rookie because Ja'Wuan James might begin the season as Miami's starting left tackle since Branden Albert's six months into rehabbing his surgically repaired right knee.
buffalo2218 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 same here. I will be mad if we don't, and REALLY mad if he goes to another AFC East team. We should be his top choice: owner who can pay him, basically a starting spot waiting for him, a top NFL running back to block for, and a great HC to play for. Hopefully, we don't lose him to the guppies in the same manner we lost Cam Wake
RyanC883 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) @OmarKelly: #Dolphins will reportedly meet with LSU O-lineman La'el Collins on Tuesday http://t.co/sNRI2fnxgx don't like this part of the linked story: "Fortunately for the Dolphins, new vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum was a partner in the same sports agency, Priority Sports, that represents Collins. And the Dolphins play in one of the few states that doesn't have a state income taxes." Perhaps this is why Rex setup the meeting w/o calling his agents? If so, genius. Edited May 5, 2015 by RyanC883
Peter Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 don't like this part of the linked story: "Fortunately for the Dolphins, new vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum was a partner in the same sports agency, Priority Sports, that represents Collins. And the Dolphins play in one of the few states that doesn't have a state income taxes." The only thing that concerns me about that is that Florida does not have state income taxes. Rex can out recruit his old buddy Tannenbaum.
Jamie Nails Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I thought I was done with the Miami v. buffalo crap and having to read Omar Kelly's tweets. clay watch déjà vu. Buckle up.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I remain puzzled why no team used a 7th round pick on him. Super low risk, high reward.Bad press if he is charged. Too soon after Aaron Hernandez. Edited May 5, 2015 by PromoTheRobot
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 If he were drafted he could choose not to sign, sit out the year and re-enter the 2016 draft. As an UDFA, he doesn't have that option. I still would have tried to call his bluff on sitting out.
vincec Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Because he could refuse to sign and then enter the draft the following year. As an UDFA that isn't an option Beat me to it- should have read further I read this before but it doesn't make any sense to me. If a player enters the draft and is drafted then he can refuse and go back into the draft the following year, but if he isn't drafted then he can't? I don't get it.
NoSaint Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 With Rex's personality, a job opening at guard, throw in a little Doug, Terry and Kim seems like it be hard to say no. Man, I love how aggressive this team is. Also likely familiar with kromer from NO
dezertbill Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 One advantage we have is Ryan. He is a very personable guy and if his family loves Ryan that will be a huge factor on where he goes. I'm sure Buffalo is promising him max money, a great starting job opportunity and billionaire owners to provide him whatever resources he needs to protect himself. Huge selling points along with a comfort level from family
NoSaint Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I have a suspicion Collins is okay with that. I still think he got bad direction from his agents. Not that there's anything to negotiate at this point either/ it's just a matter of where he wants to be
strive_for_five_guy Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Yes. We're losing 3 scholarships next year. Haha, I enjoy how the reports say that Rex was just "passing through" Baton Rouge, as if this wasn't a well orchestrated plan to sign this guy.
Prickly Pete Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 It's all scaled & you can't breakout out of the mold. We will offer the max like everyone but we're first on the scene, which I think gives us a leg up. ahhh...Okay, Thanks. This could work out even better than a supplemental draft, for him, because he can actually choose where he goes.
ExWNYer Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 One advantage we have is Ryan. He is a very personable guy and if his family loves Ryan that will be a huge factor on where he goes. I'm sure Buffalo is promising him max money, a great starting job opportunity and billionaire owners to provide him whatever resources he needs to protect himself. Huge selling points along with a comfort level from family Another selling point for him may be that Buffalo offers a college-type atmosphere on game days, unlike most other NFL cities.
Big Blitz Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Yea because South Beach is exactly what this kid needs. Get your arse on the jet with Rex and T Pegs and sign.
