Low risk, high boom potential. Sucks how much money he lost if innocent

just curious but if you were totally innocent would you sign this deal? I wouldn't. I'd wait til my name got cleared. Don't really understand this

Isn't there some sort of cap for Undrafted FA?

If not they could all withdraw from the draft and sign big money deals wherever they wanted instead of going to shite teams...

His options are very limited. Heard where he said.....if he wasn't drafted in the first three rounds, he would go back in the draft next year. One of the gum bumpers said....as a FA, he would not be eligible to re-enter the draft next year. He got as good a deal as he could have hoped for from the Cowboys.

Although I feel Collins is innocent. You're damn straight I would sign that deal and get me some money. If I am guilty wtf is Dallas going to do to get the money back. I'm going to prison for double murder and possibly death penalty.

Heck I would. If he'd of been drafted he could've ended up at a worse organization that most likely wouldn't make the playoffs. It's his best option and he can go in and potentially be a starter. Plus they probably slid him a good amount under the table

He got as much as he possibly could as an UDFA. This also allows him to sign his 2nd contract sooner than a 1st round pick. Explain why he shouldn't sign the deal? His name being cleared wouldn't change the deal as it's a max deal for an UDFA.

dumb.
a) his name is cleared. dude was never involved and got completely railroaded.
b) what other options does he have at this point? answer: none.

He got the max UDFA deal. He quite literally could do no better.
