But I don't see how you can trust him to stay on the field? I know part of his situation has been circumstance/misfortune, but even then some guys are snake bitten.

If Jerry Jones was willing to essentially fork over Amari Cooper for a 5th RD pick I wouldn't mind offering a 5th RD pick and a 6th RD Pick for Collins at this point. The odds of you landing a starter with those selections is slim to none. Collins instantly makes your right side better. He takes a [BLEEP] ton of pressure off of worrying about Taylor this summer or having to find somebody next week in the market or in the draft. 

If it's a low offer for him? I would just put it out there on the table and make it happen. I am with you about the injury concerns and character concerns. I cited it already in this thread. However, the more you look at it. The more it makes sense. It's low risk / high reward with Collins. He does have a ton of talent. He does have the right fit for Pederson's style of offense. He's also well rounded. 

Baalke has to make something happen here. There's no [BLEEP] way they can enter that draft next month with four picks in the sixth round. It's overkill in an underwhelming round. Needs to make something out of those while he can. Same still goes for the WR position. He whiffed on Cooper. That's fine. Call Seattle and let's see what they want for Lockett.
