I thought he was ruled not a suspect? Someone will draft him anyways, so i don't get why he wants out.

 

You have to keep in mind that there are many people with agenda's here. La'ell's agent will be telling anyone with ears his client had no involvement.

 

But also the police may not want to tip off La'ell if they have information suggesting he is involved. A murder investigation is bigger than a draft pick.

 

This is a very difficult situation and I ask myself how this didn't come up sooner. Did La'ell conceal information from teams?

I don't know how $$$ goes in supplemental, but I assume if there are a ton of teams taking him off their board or not thinking of drafting him until late, he would probably rather go in the supplemental at a 3rd rounder salary then to be a late round pick or an UDFA.

 

First of all I would like to apologize to you as a mod, for how I said "I thought he was ruled not a suspect?" Question marks after statements is one of my pet peeves and I can't say I wouldn't have banned me were I in your shoes.

 

Anyways, I would honestly still take him in the second if he does fall. Some people have him as their top tackle in the whole class (Mayock included) and even with questions, that's a risk worth taking at #57 to me.

Now it's breaking news that:

Ian Rapoport @ RapSheet

What @JayGlazer said is true. Agent for La’El Collins met with

the NFLPA to request he be allowed in Supplemental Draft. We’ll

see.

I think the nfl should allow it, if it turns out he's a suspect the nfl can just pull him from that & let things play out. If it turns out the police are just doing their job & this is a case of fugged timing, it prevents a possible 1st rounder from getting completely screwed.

Wouldn't get be better off being a udfa and then negotiate/choose his team

 

No going undrafted doesn't work that way. I'm fairly sure there is a wage scale for undrafted guys too and the only negotiating point is guaranteed money. Additionally undrafted guys enter into restricted free agency for the first 4 years of their careers. So not only would he be low balled, he would be forced to sign 1 year tenders until 2020. It's a tough situation for him.

UDFA deals are capped at $435k(league minimum) with a $70k signing bonus. It's better than getting picked in the 6th or 7th, but if he gets in the supplemental draft and is completely cleared then he would probably get at least 2nd round money.
