Tampa attempting to trade OT Anthony Collins

Don't fuging trade for that contract. Let him be cut and then try to sign him to a low guaranteed contract and bring him in to compete. He was bad last year but who knows what could happen with him here. He was actually great when filling in as LT for the Bengals.

We made him an offer last offseason but Tampa doesn't have Gettleman and gave him a ridiculous 5-year $30 million dollar deal.

All Gettleman has to do now is wait for the Bucs to cut him and then bring him in on a cheap 1 or 2-year deal.

Collins isn't great but he's still young and athletic.

Yep, we were very interested last year, but if we weren't willing to give him that type of contract in the FA market last offseason, we sure as hell aren't going to trade anything to acquire that contract with Collins coming off of a bad season.  Nor will anyone else.  If the Bucs want out of that deal they're gonna have to cut him.

Do tell.

I remember reading tweets from someone who covers the bucs, and she said that when she asked a bengals assistant coach at the combine last year about collins she got an awful reaction. Mentioning that he took plays off and had a really poor attitude, and wasn't a starting caliber OT. But I would be fine with him as depth/starting in a pinch

    • The difference is that Sanders has the work ethic and does work. Johnny didn't. Bad comp.
    • I explained that I was old school and I realize that others have a different opinion.  Being Deion's son is a bit different.   It suggests that his focus is on the money and not football--It is not just the diamonds--it is the dollar sign on the shirt.  Telling a reporter from the Raiders "I ain't going sixth."  Asking another reporter, "Do you know who my dad is?"  When asked what sets him apart from the others, he said that he is mentally more prepared.  Meanwhile, Dad as recently as March Deion, implied he would advise Shedeur to avoid certain franchises--later to retract that position during an interview with Skip Bayless.  You can't take the fact that he is probably a late first, early second round talent and ignore the fact that his comments, jewelry, $ on his shirts and uniform towels might suggest a feeling of entitlement, a person focused on the return more than the opportunity. As I said very clearly--this is my opinion about one person who was raised as a great player's son and how it might rub some the wrong way.  It comes off as entitled.  Fine if he lives up to it, but to me, it suggests that his mind might not be in the right place.  Perhaps he should be focused on humility, his work ethic, and how he is going to earn it--instead, this comes off as someone who thinks this is his reward.  I am sure that others feel the same way, but if I am the GM, I do not want the circus.  Remember Johnny?  I commented at the time that his money gesture would backfire.  It tells me that his mind was not in the right place.  Same thing.
