Cowboys sign OT La'el Collins

[Smitty]

Getting a free first doesn't make the value of your other first round pick any less. I'm not using a first round pick to acquire a player who may have 1 or 2 good years left in him if even that.

By the way Collins may even be better then a free first round pick. A first round pick gets paid. Collins is getting paid like shit for 3 years. It's like a free first round pick who also is nearly free against the salary cap.

Excellent point.

NFL Radio has been pretty entertaining. A regular eagles fan called in and was saying that Collins must truly be a POS if nobody took a chance on him in the draft, and that he'd fit right in with the other crap Dallas has.

The host called him on it, and said he'd just called in a couple days earlier saying how the Eagles should make a push to sign him, and not only that, he remembered him calling in during the draft saying they should take him in the 3rd round.

The guy just hung up.

I would trade Leary for a reasonable offer.

Collins just said, "I never once flinched"

 

[Smitty]

Guy on Sirius just now, obviously a Redskins fan...

HOW CAN THE 31 OTHER GMs ALLOW THE COWBOYS TO DO THIS???

 

[Texas Ace]

At this point, I'd give a 1st for AP.

Fuck it. This is as close as we've been in a long ass time, and with Jerry still in the fold, you never know how long it'll be between this and the next good period for the team.

We're right on the brink of getting it done, and it's at this time where making a go for broke move makes sense.

Go for it, Jer. Go get us AP!

On extremeskins, they're talking about how this will blow up in Dallas' face because it will screw with the chemistry on both the line and in the lockerroom.

It's pretty pathetic how they're scrambling for ANYTHING right now. Yeah. They scared.

Cling to hope, fuckers.

It will all be over soon.

Or Leary? Bernadeau is currently the only OL on the roster than can back up the C position.

Thought Martin played some c too, if I'm remembering that right they could slide him over in an emergency

 

[NoDak]

At this point, I'd give a 1st for AP.

Fuck that noise. There is no way you could ever convince me giving up a first rounder for a 30 year old RB is a good idea.

 

[boozeman]

Collins just said, "I never once flinched"

Actually, he said that about Romo. BISP

 

[boozeman]

Dammit, that kid is impressive. Not fake. Not scripted. Very genuine.

Not so secretly rooting for him now.

 

[Smitty]

Can't wait to get home and watch this PC.

I would trade Leary for a reasonable offer.

For a RB.

 

[Cotton]

"I mean, I am still getting paid. It is way more than I was getting in college."

Very refreshing and rare attitude.

 

[boozeman]

Skeletor is trying to win back to back executive of the year.

If he somehow gets AP in here, I'll wear an I love Jerry shirt for the rest of the season.

Feh.

I am in full I heart Jerry mode now for probably the first time since he signed Deion Sanders.

He made this deal happen.

I feel very funny right now.

 

[Smitty]

Damn, that's Jerry's house? Nice.

 

[Cotton]

I understand why teams passed me. But they have to understand now, the teams that I play against, they WILL feel me. /Collins


~schwing~

Oh. My. God.

It was pretty damn good. Collins will impress you.

And if you doesn't, well, you are just un-American.
