Because he said he would not sign for low round money and would renter the draft next year...

That's a good threat but sitting out a full year and not playing football wouldn't help him get drafted the following year

I doubt any team signs this cat until the police clear him. Anyone have an idea as to when the police will have finished conducting their investigation

Doubt all you want, but don't put money on it. He'll be signed within a week.

Worked out OK for Dorial Green-Beckham, picked in the 2nd round this year 40th overall after sitting out the entire 2014 season. He was one of the highest rated receivers after not playing football for a year and it could be argued he only dropped to the 2nd round because of off the field issues.

No one wanted to be the team to give him a free ticket into the 2016 Draft AND not be eligible to select him in that draft.

I don't think DGB was drafted in 2014 and then stiffed his team to re-enter the draft, but I could be wrong.

That is correct but if you are the team that drafted Collins this year and he didn't sign you are not eligible to take him next year.

It also worked out for Robert Quinn who I believe sat the whole year before becoming a top 15 pick.

Right, I think that is the risk people were not willing to take in the 7th more than anything

That's correct, my point was more to the fact that the original poster said sitting out a year wouldn't help him get drafted. To that point, it didn't really hurt Robert Quinn or Dorial Green-Beckham, they were both drafted. Collins if he would have been drafted and sat out wouldn't have hurt his draft stock as much as some would have you believe. Yea the team who drafted him wouldn't have the opportunity to draft him but another team would.

Three things Buffalo has or doesn't have on Miami

 

Low crime and less opportunity to get in trouble.

 

Good schools, FLA schools sucks for raising kids money is going to support retirement community.

 

Less media for a guy that obviously needs to lay low for a little while in a forgiving community that will appreciate him if he does well.

 

Depends what he wants and that will tell everyone a lot about whether we will see this situation repeat itself or not...

My two kids go to public school in Miami (the Palmetto schools in Pinecrest). Both my kids are in the gifted program, which is tremendous. I cannot imagine paying for a better education. I have nothing against private schools (I went to Nichols), but I have to tell you that there are some pretty darn good public schools in Miami. I also have to say that the current superintendent of the Miami-Dade public school system (Alberto Carvalho) is outstanding.

 

That is not to say that all public schools in Miami are great. Indeed, there are some schools that I would never send my kids to, but there also are some schools in Buffalo and Erie County that I would never want my kids to attend.

 

Just my two cents.

would be quite a coup of we were to pick up collins. Heard polian on nfl radio describe him as a guard. So we could have glenn collins wood richie henderson with miller, urbik and cyrus pushing them. Cyrus being the wild card with his off season training regimen
