La'el Collins has begun visits

[Snake]

Its quite possible we sign him. Well just as possible as any other team. He will look for the right fit and a chance to cash in after his contract is up. I doubt he is looking for a back up role.

I am glad we had dinner with him. If we didn't at least try to land him I would be pretty upset. Watching him play in the SEC I see no reason why he couldn't play LT. If we do sign Collins then we could end up with both tackle positions filled for the next 10 years.

Just realized, since we already have Kel-El at QB, we should be a lock to sign Ja'el...his brother from another mother?

The Minnesota Vikings appear to be one of several teams interested in signing Collins. The Vikings, Panthers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Colts, Bucs, Cardinals, Rams, Dolphins and Lions appear to be the early front runners to land the talented offensive tackle.

does it really count if a third of the teams are early front runners? 

[gettlemanjack]

There's also the matter of OTs getting paid better than OGs, something that will be important to him come new contract time given what he lost.

good point.

[Moorgan]

It increased our chances just under 10% from just about 3% if true. Who knows? But other teams see us as "in play" and I think that's the good point there. That's not really a "news" source.

 

 

I'm taking every percentage point I can get.

As I said last night, it remains unlikely -- despite Rex's dinner --

that the Bills sign La'el Collins.

Rex might be having dinner with La’el Collins tonight, but I

wouldn’t expect the Bills to land him.

[TheRumGone]

if he CHOOSES buffalo.

 

then he's an idiot.

 

i think we have a chance with about 10 other teams. I like our chances with Trai. It would be nice and so very unpanther like for us to get such an amazing deal.

Who's recruiting La'el Collins most aggressively? #Bucs QB

Jameis Winston is right up there. Pushing hard for Collins to

come to Tampa Bay.
