If he can just be baked chicken instead of BBQ I'll take it. He isn't that old and was pretty damn good before. He should be able to be at least playable.

But I agree, my horses are in the barn on him until he is playing against other teams.

August right before pre season games is always the time when feel good puff stories come out.

I think if we accept Collins for who he is and what he brings - in box safety, on field coach for secondary - we wouldnt be so hard on him.

Hes clearly overpaid for his skill set as in box safeties are dime a dozen imo but hes one of the better ones. Seems like he brings a good vet approach to working out, putting in work, team seems to like him.

The fact that Collins didn't start out on PUP is a good sign he's 100%.

I MIGHT have to move on from my Lavar Arrington jersey but I do love telling fellow skins fans to suck my ball sack when they give me grief.

Logan Thomas is playing great according to some reports. He is growing into a good TE, he is definitely a great find by FO - many of us were worried about the TE position last year and some were upset about the fact that we didn't try harder to sign Hooper while FO was content with Thomas lol..

That "some" def included me. Especially when I saw what he signed for w the Browns. TE was such a black hole and I thought we were gifted in having 2-3 real good TEs avail in FA.

Real happy with Logan. Just a great nfl story. Shades of Quinton Dunbar story arc but without the mental softness.

Hoping this WR Humphries can rejuvenate his career in the slot for us, Deandre Carter is another journeyman storyline.

Good thing we didn't chase Hooper very hard. 46-435-4 last year in Cleveland. Very meh production for the money he's getting.

Simms had a ton of chances. He wasn't one of the best 6 wr's. I would be surprised if AGG makes it, but he did have a few nice grabs, both 2 pointers were good plays by him, even though one didn't count.

He just gets zero separation and that's tough to keep around in todays pass heavy game

Yup…I was dead wrong about Thomas. No way did I think going him over Hooper was a good decision.

I’m starting to see some momentum for Reyes to make the squad at 3rd TE which is surprising IMO, he must be putting it together fairly well.
