Twitter: The Patriots have weighed acquiring Dallas OL La'El Collins via trade

[Carson]

I'd go as low as a 5th

10 million in cap in June? Or a 4th 5th round pick?

 

[john van brocklin]

He's already been reported.

Risen, the ENFORCER !!!!

 

[Proof]

seems out to ship out shaq mason only to turn around and trade for lae. guess unless they plan on playing him at tackle

 

[JohnsKey19]

Because of the cap hit, right ?

Yes. You can essentially use that nearly 10 million to sign all of your rookies.
Again, this is assuming they have already made up their minds to get rid of him, one way or another.

 

[jaythecowboy]

Same.

$10 million to spend on a free agent is more valuable than a 5th rounder.

Not likely if you don’t get it till after June 1. All the good free agents will be gone by then.

Thank you sir !

I'll take the 5th, yeah. 4 5ths could be used in many ways. Not so much with 10 mill (at least, with this team)

I mean you can easily structure the contracts to get under the cap this year with the amount they have and at that point the June 1 design becomes pointless.

Collins is the anti Belichick player.

Not buying it.

Source is a Patriots beat writer for the Boston Herald. Not sure why he doesn't have a blue check.

Yes please!

 

[kevm3]

The cowboys are terrible at negotiating. Why would information ever be floated out that we want to get rid of La'el? You sort of let teams inquire about him on their own instead of letting it leak that 'we want this guy outta here!'. That's how we will end up getting some super lowball offer for him. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a 4th rounder for him

 

[cowboyec]

trading shaq mason to tampa bay...def makes a spot available on their oline for collins.

Or nothing…lol

What about Collins straight up for K’Lavon Chaisson. I know he has been a bust so far but we liked him in the draft and what do we have to lose.

Not buying it.

I'm having a hard time seeing it as well.

Might make sense to Pats because their aware of their poor drafting track record

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

You just know Jerry is going to fleece Bill on this…

Another 5th round pick and away the Jonesboys go!

 

[Teague31]

Have a hard time believing BB is willing take on an idiot like Collins.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Jerry is on a roll, but you can always increase a draft pick by waiting one year. Boys already have too many 5th’s.
