If Bengals can land him and fix their RT spot, that OL is in pretty good shape. Still could use a C or LG (COME TO ME JC TRETTER) but it's soooooo much better than last year. They need to finish the job though. Important to land Collins and solidify the right. With an OL, not sure how teams stop the Bengals. Burrow, Mixon, Chase, Higgins, Boyd and time. Good luck? As a Cowboys fan I would say be careful what you wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Pollack is extremely familiar with Collins from his years in Dallas. He knows exactly what he’s getting. And giving Joe Burrow a RT that graded out at 82.0 last season sounds just fine to me.

Maithanet Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I am surprised at how positive the reactions are to the Raiders trading for Adams. I am still of the option that trading a first round pick for the right to pay top dollar for a player is always a fool's errand (quarterbacks excepted). Trading a 1 and a 2 is a big loss. Giving any non-qb a $30 mil a year deal is a huge risk. My friend who is a Raiders fan is pumped (this has been a rough offseason for him), but I don't share the enthusiasm. The Raiders still look like the worst team in the division and now they won't have a first or second round pick who might potentially outplay their contract.

Oh sure it's a bad deal for them, especially longterm. Doesn't change the fact the concentration of talent going to the AFC West this offseason is ridonculous.

I understand his baggage and hip issues. I just really really want a top tier RT for Burrow but also for Mixon. Dude is an all-pro run blocker.

A fairly stacked team that was just a QB away went and got a fringe top 5 QB and that makes them…..the third best team in the division. JFC. I’d argue the biggest winners from all of this are the Bills except they have the misfortune of playing the West this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy the Browns didn't have to give up JOK or Newsome in the trade. I thought for sure one would be involved, and combined with obviously losing several first round picks and Watson's new deal, their production would have been tough to replace in the draft or free agency. Instead, we get to keep them on rookie deals for the next three to four years (four for Newsome, three for JOK). That's big considering both looked to be impact defenders at their positions going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it to the NFL to give the first major deal that's 100% guaranteed (that I can remember at least) to a guy who's facing suspension and didn't play at all the year before. (Although I suppose Rodgers' deal was practically guaranteed, so I guess the writing was on the wall.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
