La'el Collins has begun visits

A victim?

It's perfectly normal for police to talk to everyone involved in someone's life when it ends in a horrifying way.  They aren't just looking to talk with people to label them suspects, it is entirely possible people close to the real victim have some knowledge or can provide some evidence to find out who was responsible,

To answer the questions on #LSU OL La’El Collins that are

filling up my mentions. If he’s completely cleared, yes, your

team is interested.

[uncfan888]

Dave Gettleman wouldn't even talk about Collins during his interview Monday morning on the radio. I just don't think JR wants more bad press, even if Collins is innocent.

Well, to be fair, Monday morning was before collins talked to police and was cleared. I wouldn't have commented on it either

[gettlemanjack]

Was their a gentleman's agreement between the 32 teams not to go after La'el until he was cleared?

As if this La'el Collins situation had gotten weird enough, now he and Rex Ryan appear to have gone rogue for dinner. #unsanctioned

Dolphins have several former LSU players on their roster and

that will undoubtedly come up when team meets with La'el

Collins .

TMZ:

"Sources close to the investigation tell us ... Collins said he has witnesses and phone records that prove he was nowhere close to Brittney Mills on the night she was gunned down. ... Collins told investigators he was an hour away in New Orleans at the time of the shooting -- as part of an overnight trip with friends and family to watch the New Orleans Pelicans take on the Golden State Warriors on Saturday April 25th. We're told Collins also claims he has texts and emails proving the group had planned the trip several days before the killing ... and he believes GPS records on his cell phone will back up his story. Forbthe record, Collins has NOT been named a suspect in the murder"

Baton Rouge Advocate:

La'el Collins "has heard from 'almost every' NFL team... Collins, now an undrafted free agent, had meetings scheduled with officials from the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins for Monday night and Tuesday morning, a source close to Collins told The Advocate. Collins has received interest from “almost every” NFL team over the past few days and will likely meet with several teams over the next few days, the source said"

Most people don't lose hundreds of thousands of dollars---or even millions---just for being associated with the victim of murder either. If it turns out that Collins doesn't have anything to do with the murder, then, yes, I would consider that being a victim.

So "MOST NFL teams" have shown interest. Gut feeling says that J.R takes a pass on this one.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Gettleman seems like he does not want to be anywhere near his situation.

He was asked directly about it on Monday on WFNZ and pretty much said " i just cant talk about hypotheticals or make any comment on this situation this kid is going through"

He answered it in a way that was in a hell no sorta way.

If it was a no he would've said no. I mean, why wouldn't he?

[Captain Obvious]

Well in print it seems like he would like to pursue Collins but he has no concrete proof of innocence and until then he will stay as far away as possible.

Like JJ said, "No, we are not interested in La'El Collins" is sitting right there as a perfectly succinct and concrete answer. But that's not what he said.
