YoloinOhio Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Here's to hoping Rex took Collins and his family onto the private jet right after dinner and they're all in Orchard Park this morning waiting for the BTI to open.but then he would miss his meeting with the fascinating Joe Philbin. Zzzz
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Rex can BS him and Terry can show him the money. Everything is capped for an UDFA Best recruiting tool is playing time and the Bills can certainly offer that CBF
Wayne Cubed Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 but then he would miss his meeting with the fascinating Joe Philbin. Zzzz Can you imagine Collins agent, "Hey La'el, how do you feel about meeting Joe Philbin for dinner" or "Hey La'el, how do you feel about meeting Rex Ryan for dinner"
Agent 91 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Pay him more than Jameis's deal. If we sign him what a major win, it's not likely he's even available at 19 before this all happened. Signing him (and having him cleared) would be like we traded nothing for Sammy. Even better because he wouldnt make 19 overall draft pick money
NoSaint Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 That's a risky proposition, siting out a year without football and expecting to be taken high. I don't think it's been done anytime in the modern era. Any guy with rules violations has missed a year. Quinn went top ten still. Not sure how teams would react to this reason though.

Doc Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 DGB just did it this year. True but I meant getting drafted and stiffing the team that drafted him, as well as sitting out the year.
Coach Tuesday Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 "Rex Reid" and "Lack of Ram" are my two favorites. "Lack of Ram" would be an amazing name for a vegetarian entrée!
Wayne Cubed Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 "Rex Reid" and "Lack of Ram" are my two favorites. These local reporters are way more into this than the reporters during "Mario Watch". I assume it's because of the murder investigation tied to his story.
YoloinOhio Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) These local reporters are way more into this than the reporters during "Mario Watch". I assume it's because of the murder investigation tied to his story. the reporter even tweeted a photo of the menu at Ruffino's. Not sure we ever got this level of detail from Tempo!

This is a big story there.True but I meant getting drafted and stiffing the team that drafted him, as well as sitting out the year. Ah, got it
4merper4mer Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 "Lack of Ram" would be an amazing name for a vegetarian entrée! There is a 31/32 chance that Collins will choose lack of Ram. Jeff Fisher is not happy.

dave mcbride Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 True but I meant getting drafted and stiffing the team that drafted him, as well as sitting out the year. Also remember that Maurice Clarett and Mike Williams (USC) sat out a year, and they were busts. I'm not saying they would have succeeded if they continued their development in school, but surely a year away from competitive football didn't help them.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 there's loiopholes How so? even the signing bonus is capped at $88K I dont think their is any loophole. Collins will be offered the max deal by every team We just hope that Rex has the best recruiting skills. CBF

CBF I'm wondering if they could offer Collins a good sponsorship deal or hook him up with a company?
stevewin Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 "Rex Reid" and "Lack of Ram" are my two favorites. It's bad enough when a restaurant runs out of Ramb, but then to flaunt it on the menu...

Collins will be offered the max deal by every team We just hope that Rex has the best recruiting skills. CBF Yolo posted this in the UDFA thread. @pdomo: NFL exec told me UDFA money got out of hand after the draft. There's an $86,000 cap on FA signing bonus money, but teams were. . . @pdomo: . . . getting around the limit by splitting signing bonus and Paragraph 5 (base salary) guarantees. There's no limit on Paragraph 5 money.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I love the fact that the Bills are the first team to meet with Collins. I also hope he remembers that the Bills still met with him even before he has been officially "cleared" of this murder investigation CBF
NoSaint Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I'm wondering if they could offer Collins a good sponsorship deal or hook him up with a company? where are our boosters.... i swear, even college fans can figure this out but you guys in buffalo dont have a network? hammer -- do you need a new "sponsor"
