But the truly insane thing is had Collins hit Free Agency he would have inked a deal that would have made him the highest paid RT - if not OL - in the league, since that is how FA works. I am, frankly, amazed he took such a huge discount. Lane is better. I just wanted to point out the huge delta between the two since a lot of the Eagles fans were talking about how their contracts are close.

I just wanted to point out the huge delta between the two since a lot of the Eagles fans were talking about how their contracts are close. Why...would they compare? Eagle fans have the worst little brother syndrome I have ever seen. If anything Collins should have gotten MORE than Lane. It's why signing talent early has it's benefits. If anything, this deal makes the Giants Nate Solder contract look even worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hard to knock that contract. tbh, I was expecting it closer to 12.5/13 per. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 A steal. This contract is going to age very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 You have to remember that Collins chose Dallas after he went undrafted and received offers from all 32 teams. He wants to be here. He and Jaylon were always the best candidates to take a team friendly deal, when most assumed Collins would be the odd man out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony7188 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 A great deal for both sides. If Collins becomes a stud RT, it will be a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddy_z34 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Maliek wasnt gonna get re-signed anyways. His replacement has already been drafted in Hill. If Collins balls out at DT this year consider him gone. If he doesnt ball out but has an average to ok year like he has been having then I could possibly see him being picked back up by the team. Byron Jones unless he takes a severely team friendly deal like Jaylon and Collins did then he for sure is gone. CBs are a premium and he will get paid if he has another year like last year and the year before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Interesting. Not the most news worthy thing ever, but now I find myself a slightly bigger fan of LC than I was 2 minutes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
