Patriots officially sign Jamie Collins

[DaBruinz]

Even if cut?

Why do you think he'll be cut? Also, what have you seen of him this year that makes you think he'll be useful?

 

[DaBruinz]

we all know he's going to the Bucs, and will end the season as an All-Pro

All-Pro benchwarmer, maybe..

Sign Cam to a 2 minute contract. Trade him for Collins within those 2 minutes.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Best case for newton is he learns to speak Canadian and buys a bunch of long John’s!

I appears something happened to the point that they dont want him in the building anymore. That is not normal. Have not seen anything from him this year but do know that he understands what we do here and with Tower around, Collins can help our LBs group.

The contract is too expensive. The Lions would need to eat a ton of money if they want draft capital back. If they cut him then yeah, your usual 1-year (or a partial year in this case) rental makes sense to me, though linebacker is pretty deep so he won't get a ton of reps, theoretically.

Collins has always played well in NE, but I would rather see them develop their young linebackers than bring him back.

Surprise, those trade talks were entirely one-sided and they just released him.

I honestly forgot we were even talking about a trade and when I opened the thread I assumed he had already been released and today's post was about him signing somewhere.

Now I'm definitely interested.

We'll offer... nothing !

(still interested)

We seem to have a nice gig going with Collins: Come here for a year, play great, get a big contract elsewhere, phone it in, get released, come back here for a year, play great. Works for me!

 

[RobertWeathers]

Now that hes been released and cheaper, I revise my position.

Take it or leave it offer. He has value in this defense.

He faded badly in 2019. Not sure if it was physical or general disinterest in playing his best.

It was going to be an Osweiler-like trade if it happened.

 

[Betterthanmost]

So who is picking him up from Logan?

Honestly it's here Miami or Tenn I can't see him going many other places.

That team was so stacked on defense, especially against that joke first half schedule, that Collins was great pinning his ears back, and any mistakes were covered up. When the defense started slipping, facing better offenses, etc. all of his weaknesses were highlighted again. They got a really cheap pass rusher in 2019 for a good deal. Seeing that they could do the same thing with Winovich but realize a one trick pony won’t work with this defense, I doubt they’ll want Collins for round 3. Unless he accepts some really extreme lowball offer.

It looks like that set of bags are used by many players, I have pictures of Larry Fitzgerald, Julio Jones at Logan with the same bags all in front of Hertz. Seems strange.

Yep. Blitzing up the middle or in gaps, playing in space - those are his strengths. Playing in the trenches. Absolutely not.
