Jamie Collins to Detroit

[Joey007]

Per Ian.



I’m okay with him going there. Was going to be too expensive.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Oh well. Had a great 1/2 year here

 

[holyredeemer]

Time to see if we can get any value for High.

You said it right, faded down the end. And I want no part of the player he was once he got paid in Cleveland.

 

[cupofjoe1962]

Wow.... Outside of Hightower, we are now hurting at LB.

Although we are picking up a couple comp picks for 2021 with the loss of Collins & KVN.

Collins got 3 years - 30 million - 18 guaranteed.

Rumor is he was hurt but whatever. Same snap counts but 90% less production weeks 9-17

Opposing running backs on the Pats schedule are sad over this news.

 

[Sciz]

So he wasn’t interested in my two year, $12 million offer?

Every where I go online, I am hearing and reading about losing this and losing that. Brokerage account... losing a lot, Patsfans.com ... Losing LBs like they are Royal Caribbean.

The pats have had worse LB groups (2017, arguably 2018) & could probably manage considering they play so many DBs. A need for sure though.

Cannot believe how much Collins nosedived last season... Media and folks here (self included) were saying he was in DPOY discussion through first 4 or 5 games...

Collins was a complete non factor vs Miami and Tenn... Those are games guys with supposed otherworldly taking are supposed too make impact plays...Collins came up small

LB just became a YUGE need!

They could potentially move back to more of a 4 lineman set; if I recall they went with 4 simply because Collins looked so good.

Of course, they need 4 good linemen for that to work....

Drafting backers for sure

That’s a promising group right there. I think a lot of fans are forgetting how good Wino was in a limited role last season.

Bentley and Simon will surprise. BB seemed to be high on them .

You think BB is unloading High?

slow unit

Bye, Felicia.

I think he's my least favorite "notable" Patriot. Guy has zero heart.

Love Wino. I think he'll pick up for KVN at some point
