La'el Collins signs with Dallas Cowboys, according to report

[Caliskinsfan]

Sooooo, all good as long as it ONLY pertains to the selection process and NOT on the franchise and its selectors when the emphasis is value of character?

Honestly not in the mood to get into this debate with you today Stymie. No offense.

And that is NOT what I said.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

There is the domestic violence issues he's had.

Unconfirmed only.

 

[redskinsfan]

When you are in a I would like to win one with a team I built before I die mentality... Character takes a back seat.

Very true, which is why I would've signed Collins despite his DV issues. Almost literally no downside at all in doing that. Zip.

 

[redskinsfan]

Unconfirmed only.

For a Cowboy, we can assume it's the truth.

None taken, but if you don't mind would you make your statement a bit clearer to me? I promise to let it end there.

Were you going to force him to sign The actual contract with us too?

There was really very little chance he would want to play here.

Howdy y'all ... looks like all the pundits are looking at the Cowboys deals as negatives ...

I for one have my doubts too, but I'm more than willing to let them have a go at it ... especially after the years and years of ineptitude ... we shall see ...

We could've offered him 24-hour on-call family and criminal law attorneys. The Cowboys could only offer up bail bondsmen.

From a lifelong Redskins fan, I'm not sure how you can view the Collins signing as a negative.

I will admit ... he is the least of the worries ... kinda' like Dez a few years back ... but still

we do have a hall of shame and we mights be a tad bit touchy ... lol

I have always been consistent in my stance that character matters to me. And in terms of things like known DV, character will always trump talent in my book.

If he turns out to be a problem, just cut him. Didn't waste a draft pick on him. The cap hit is basically zip. And so is the downside.

Bad DOG!!! How are you

Hardy...ugh, but min contract risk so I can see the business angle.

The others not so much imho. La'el a steal for Yall.

howdy, howdy there skinner .... what are you in the mood for today ...

I like the recent FA signings as they do "seem" to carry minimum risk with big upside, especially this last one. I still have my concerns of "perception" but every team does ... just look at the Pats ... *cough, cough* ... lol

They did pick him up for a song ... the price of a few deflated footballs, couple of jock straps and worn out cleats ... lol

It's an interesting balance to be sure. But one thing is true. The Boys have a pretty good built in support system to handle some 'special' players.

Could be good, could get ugly. Well have to see how it plays out.

Where you been? New job? All good?

Actually, just been very busy with the current job ... got a call to interview on one this past Monday, trying to work something out (current employer would be very upset, but just another reason not to be here). we shall see ...

and you're right ... it could go south quick ... Duanne Thomas ... where be you????
