NFL UDFA game thread

Probably won't happen for a week or more, but if La'el Collins is cleared of any involvement in his ex-girlfriend's death we may get a better idea what a 1st round talent is worth in the open market.

Houston Texans have signed Lynden Trail/DE-OLB/Houston Texans as a UDFA.

before signing the drafted players 9 teams had $15M+ , 5 teams had $20M+ and the Jags had over $40M.dcmissle said:
Edit- Nattysez deleted it, but he correctly pointed out that I forgot the rookie pool.
He's not getting a significant contract unless a team high in a round decides not to sign one of their early round picks.
Likely he takes a 1 year deal.
Nate Boyer, the 34 year old former Green Beret who was the long snapper for Texas, signed with Seattle. Pretty cool.
They don't know, that's why I prefaced it with if he is cleared.axx said:
Also his agent said he wouldn't sign if drafted after the 3rd. In that case he gets to re-enter the draft next year. If he goes undrafted he is barred from entering next year's draft and becomes a FA, giving teams time to wait and see what happens in terms of legal issues without the chance he declines to sign costing you a pick.

We won't find that out.
As an undrafted free agent, he's only eligible to sign a three year deal, has to be exactly three years, at minimum salaries.
He can receive a bonus, but teams are restricted to spending less than 100K total in bonuses to their entire undrafted free agent class.
And unless they change the rules, he's ineligible to re-enter next years' draft.
If this kid is innocent, he just got screwed.
Good article on his situation here. http://overthecap.com/quick-thoughts-on-lael-collins-re-entering-the-draft/
Good pickup for the Pats. Any where I can go to see this in action? I have a personal link to Andrew Bose of URI.

Rice WR Jordan Taylor signs with Denver per @MikeKlis. Tall guy who played mostly in the slot.
EDIT: Forgot that Taylor was a college teammate of Klein Kubiak - that's right, Gary's son. Also a WR. No doubt Koobs is familiar with Taylor.

Jean's 24 already, having been a basketball player and then detouring through junior college. He's a 6'3", 200-pound corner though, which makes him an interesting prospect.RedOctober3829 said:

He's young, had a decent combine, good YAC and screen skills, and was supposedly limited by inconsistent QB play. He looks like a slightly slower version of Emmanuel Sanders in the video I watched.

Equally unappealing is that he's going to have a Yalie as a teammate (ewww), as Tyler Varga signed over there.
And the entire camp will probably be a Harvard vs. Yale thing for the both of them.
