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.
