The story doesn't go into WHO said he was cleared specifically or any details but this may just be breaking.

 

"In a developing story that has become more clear as the days roll on former LSU offensive lineman La'el Collins has been cleared as a suspect in the shooting death of his former girlfriend Brittney Mills."

 

So it's either irresponsible reporting or they broke the being "cleared" part but aren't giving specifics. If it ends up being nonsense please delete but I figured it warranted a new thread.

If the kid truly had nothing to do with this and was simply a victim of circumstance, he got screwed HARD.

 

With that said, there's no way that Gettleman and other Panthers' staff haven't had some conversations with Trai Turner to get the scoop on this guy.  I have to think if he's fully cleared, we make a hard push to sign him.

You have to assume he has an idea where he is playing now. Teams cant really pay him whatever, hes locked into a contract structure. If hes completely cleared lets see where he ends up.

Say he did pick the Panthers. Itd be an attention grabbing story that will, without warrant, raise the expectation level for the season in the media.

Now is it a free for all for his services?

After May 9th (when LSU finishes finals) teams will be in full frenzy mode but he may have already selected a team or narrowed it down to a few. He can meet with those teams after 9 May.

    • The trade below a few years ago was so bad and in favor of the Ravens, tf was Arizona doing Cardinals receive: Marquise Brown and 3rd round pick  Ravens receive: 23rd overall pick 
    • keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.
