Collins goes to Cowboys

I think there was an agreement between all the teams and the league that nobody would draft him. There is no reason someone didnt make him a 7th round pick
His agent made it clear that he wouldn't sign a contract if drafted on day 3.

Do you know how much the contract was for? I bet they got him on the cheap.
Fully guaranteed with performance and max roster bonuses. Should be worth $1.7 million over 3 years.
If he gets a high RFA tender in 2018, he could end up making more than most second round picks this year. Not a bad move by his agent, to be completely honest.

Contract can also be renegotiated as part of an extention in year 3 and Jerrah promised to do so...

and if hardy, gregory and collins turn out to be what a lot of suspicious-minded people think they will then jones looks like the biggest ass in the league.
can't wait to see what happens when the trio starts smoking bath salts.....

So basically, the player dictated to the NFL with who he would play for.......... Dangerous precedent to say the least.

A player selecting a team is not exactly unprecedented... Elway? Eli? Bernie?
The difference is that the above all landed 1st-round money in their rookie contract while Collins lost millions that he will never recoup even if he stays healthy for two years. So Collins has blazed a trail that I don't see anyone barreling down behind him anytime soon..

The difference here is that all of those players were drafted by a team and/or then traded to another team, all of which was totally out of their control. Sure, they could choose not to play for the team that drafted/traded for them, but that was their only recourse. Collins completely and totally controlled his outcome and was able to sign with whatever team he wanted.

Of all the teams he could have signed for he chose the Cowboys who already have a great O line. Found that a bit weird

The Browns line could be better....if healthy.
