The nice thing about Free's contract is that it's very tradable. Good player on a good contract in a position of need for a lot of teams.

Who is the Vikings' starting RT?

Cowboys have to be one of the worst traders in the NFL.

I don't think the Vikes would be interested.

LT Matt Khalil 12/1 Tyrus Thompson 15/6
RT Phil Loadholdt 09/2 TJ Clemmings 15/4

Hasn't Khalil been a big disappointment? Free is better on the right, but he could play left until Clemmings is ready. Don't think it's going to happen, but it's fun to speculate.

The Vikings (AP) jokes never get old, at least not to me.

Welcome to Dallas!

In that video I didn't hear guarantee to start this season either. That's the only thing the Cowboys may not be willing to offer this year. He could start next year for us for sure and it would give him 3 years to start and prove he's worth big money somewhere. While I don't think we should be the favorite, nobody should count out Jerry the salesman.

Idk where to put this, so I'll just leave it right here. HBD J-Witt!

LEWISTON, ID - 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.

The surefire first round draft pick's stock plummeted following initial accusations that Collins could be involved in the shooting. The new NFL free agent is able to meet with teams.

Collins' attorney spoke about Collins' interview with police Monday.

"He answered all the questions that they had," said Collins' Attorney Jim Boren. "Every question we didn't claim the fifth we answered every single question we gave them all the information they asked for and he's ready to get his life back."

Sign him Jerry!!!

 

[sacase]

Man he lost out on so much money. I feel bad for the guy, talk about bad luck.

 

[The Quest for Six]

should have thrown a seventh round selection at him Jerry....

 

[Corso]

I fear he may want to be in a position to start Day 1 on a team starved for OL and he may succeed- he's talented, but he also could be setting himself up for failure in his mad dash to prove himself for a second contract.

 

[Thatkidbob]

Just in time to be a UDFA.

Wow.

 

[DFWJC]

I don't see this anywhere else.
No surprise if he is cleared,but none of the major networks are saying this just yet.

 

[Craig]

Was this the only issue he had? I thought there was something else. If not...didnt the police state before the draft that he wasnt a suspect?

 

[The Quest for Six]

It's part of his own fault too, he could have cleared it up a week before the draft and answered their questions but he was too busy packing for the draft in Chicago and dragged the whole process out...but he's a free agent so he'll get a short deal with more guaranteed money....

 

[Thatkidbob]

From what I gather, had he been drafted he would have been able to sit out a year and try again.

By going undrafted he is no longer draft eligible, and now must sign as a UDFA if he wants to play.

Given the circumstances, drafting him would gave been the worst possible move, as he'd have very little incentive to play for you when he can be a first rounder next year.

Seriously feel bad for this kid. Worst possible scenario for him. Lost out on millions

he wasn't sitting out the year, nothing but an agents smoke screen, his draft stock would have plummeted not playing football for the year..

Nope they guy been clean for the most part. The police wanted to question him before the draft but by accounts he didnt have say so in the matter.

Let the bidding begin.
