Did Cowboys' La'el Collins Get Suspended for Missing 7 Drug Tests?

[MountaineerCowboy]

Lol how is he a screw up??

Is he suspended right now over something easily preventable or no?

The real question is. Why is Collins suspended while trash like Watson is still getting paid?

Oh, I know where this is going, because Goddell wants to sabotage the leagues most profitable, and most watched franchise, right?

He missed some tests due to the team being in protocol and he was tested 180 times lol.

He missed some test. He broke the rules.

Why is he the only one that missed these tests?

Because not everyone is getting tested over 10 times a month. Hes probably the only one

Why would someone that's not a screw up have to be tested so much?

Ask the NFL. Idk. Its the NFL i have zero faith in their procedures

Let's face it, the dude has issues that go back to college. He's treated differently because his behavior has warranted it.

Collins was a huge character concern coming out. Top 10 talent that went undrafted because of it…so I’m not so surprised he isn’t working out. We can cut him after this season with minimal dead cap.

Here's what's annoying about how news is reported.

The NFL suspended a player.
The talking heads report it to the fans.
Nobody knows the details.
Info leaks out bit by bit.
Everyone rushes to conclusions.

WHY does the NFL withhold the details!?!
They have an entire network specifically for their league.

My guess is because it could open them up to a major major lawsuit if the test ends up being a false positive or anything to that degree. A very good lawyer would take the NFL to the cleaners if they put out information on a player that ended up being false.

Bad decisions follow you everywhere. It's not my fault and I'm not saying it's right, but they do. Especially when you're in the public eye.

He went undrafted because his gf ended up dead like days before the draft. And his agent told teams if he didnt go first round dont bother drafting him he wont sign

There's nothing in the rules that matches the suspension time.
The rules state a 4-game suspension.
They should be obligated to explain this.

I don't get the false positive legal narrative.
He's suspended. Why? Violation.
They should explain the ruling.

Not where I was going at all. I was just wondering your thoughts on why Watson is not suspended after 21 different people accused him of something and Collins is. That's all.

Watson should be suspended also, but I'm not going to say that until Watson is suspended then there should be no rules for anyone else.

Wow I didn’t know that. I knew he was interviewed in a murder case but I didn’t know it was his girlfriend.

He went undrafted due to one specific event. Right before the draft, his girlfriend was murdered. The police had not yet ruled him out in the case. This scared off teams and his agent told teams that if we was not going to be drafted in the first, to not draft him. Right after the draft, he was 100% cleared of any involvement in the murder.

Being acquainted with someone who is killed, is an odd criteria for 'character concerns'

If you are getting tested 10x a month, something is wrong or the league must absolutely "think" something is wrong with the player. Didn't they relax the weed rules anyways? What was he doing smoking a kilo a day?? Seems weird and I don't really buy the "he's a victim" or "they are picking on the Cowboys" thing. Something ain't right.
