Get people to stop pounding the table for Devin White? Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, box safeties are small linebackers so you still need a guy next to him... No one should be surprised if Collins signs for an affordable number somewhere else, he's just not gonna fit every defense. Pettine obviously knows better than any of us but it's wholly plausible he says "nah". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall profile in percentile: Mass: 47th Power: 52nd Speed 40: 72nd Agility: 47th Speed 10: 87th Twitch: 68th One thing to note is he's low-key kind of old now (turns 30 this summer) and hasn't had a lot of production.

Mox Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I'd be ecstatic to land Collins. We need playmakers on our D. The current safeties blow and he fills the box, and the Pack can always draft a true free safety. So like others have said when he goes elsewhere I'll be sad.

Yea, was thinking a possible depth type signing depending on who else GB ends up with at EDGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I just get this sinking feeling Gute wants to make a splash after missing out on Mack. I fear he will convince himself trading for Antonio Brown is a good idea, it's not. I sure hope this doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 5 of his career 8 INTs in a 4 game span. He has 3 INTs and 2 FFs in his other 55 career games. Call me crazy but I'm just not a fan of DBs that can't cover.

I watched the GB-SEA game from last season the other night and we definitely could’ve used him that night. The Seahawks ran all over us and it was hard to watch. Collins is my boy but I think Earl helps us more. Speaking of Earl, I remember he told Jerry Jones to come get him after SEA played DAL. It’s prolly subterfuge but apparently Jerry isn’t in the market for a high priced safety. I wonder if one of the reasons Earl wants to play there is bcuz he’s from Texas (also tax rea$on$). And if so, is he likely to sign with HOU (who for some reason doesn’t want to keep Mathieu) so he can be in Texas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reported a few days ago that Earl would be taking no hometown discounts and is looking to be the highest paid safety in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys have Lawrence, Prescott, Elliott, Jones, and Cooper all to sign in the near future. I just dont see where they have the money to add much from outside. I still to this day don't understand how free agents don't flock to the tax free states. Between cost of living and state income tax I'd pretty much only be either a Jaguar or a Titan as a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jags and Titans aren't exactly the best locations for big deals like that? I'm with you, I wonder too. Just trying to figure what else goes in. How do taxes work with agents? Like an agent will just want them to take the BIGGEST deal right? They don't give a flip about what he pays in taxes, they just want their cut. Maybe that plays?

He's not much of turnover forcer but in terms of making plays all over the field he is definitely a playmaker. The last time (or 2nd to last?) we played him he looked like prime Brian Dawkins.

He's a Box Safety - and has that down apparently - but get him chasing guys around the field....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap as hell to live. Winter isn't super bad. City isn't ridiculously huge, which let's be honest, is a pain in the ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
