So could be not have just not signed with anyone, and just re-entered the draft next year?
ETA: Even if it was somehow against NFL rules, it is kind of a dick move by the NFL not to make an exception considering the situation wasn't of his making.

Indeed. Collins got screwed big time. Look at the contract Amari Cooper signed today vs. the one Collins signed yesterday.
Collins' does have two luxuries that drafted players don't: (1) he got to pick his team and (2) he can renegotiate his contract after only three years, meaning he can get a "second contract" more quickly than a drafted player (four year term).
But all else equal, he'll never make up the money he lost.
