Browns Jamie Collins denies he asked Pat

Immediately after the traded away to the on Tuesday, multiple Rasmus Sandin Jersey theories emerged that tried to explain the Patriots' decision to trade away one of their best defensive players. Among them: . He was actually overrated. The Patriots figured they wouldn't be able to afford him when his contract expires after this season and they didn't want to lose him in free agency. That last theory was backed up by ESPN's Adam Schefter, who reported that Collins was looking for But on Wednesday, Collins -- a very good player who is not close to being at Miller's level -- disputed that report."I don't know nothing about Von Miller money," Nazem Kadri Men Jersey Collins said at his introductory locker room interview Wednesday, "Nothing.

And, though they Joffrey Lupul Women Jersey certainly could've used him this season, they certainly could use an extra draft pick in next year's draft to build a better team Alexander Kerfoot Jersey around before he steps away from the game. If Patriots had let Collins walk in FA, they'd get a third round compensatory pick in 2018. With this trade, they get one in 2017 Ben Volin (@BenVolin) Regardle s, I'll trust the Hoodie in pretty much anything. At this point in his career, he's defintiely earned the right to make decisions based on his "profe sional judgement."
