New Agent Strategy: If my guy doesn't get drafted by day 2, he's not signing

At tis point his best option is to sign a 2 year deal, make $800k and then make it up later. If he's that good, 2 yrs of UDFA plus 2 years premium deal will be as much money as getting drafted. The concerns from his position are injury, ability to perform for that premium second deal and the lack of guaranteed money but the ability to earn a similar amount over what would have been a standard 4 year draftee deal is there.

that why its unfair collins can just sign anywhere. Its actually dumb a team is about to get basically a free 1 or 2 round quality pick

Anybody could have drafted him in 7 and not lost a viable prospect.

He would just, uh, not sign. Then later sign with someone else for more money, right?

All these fucking rules

He actually can't sign elsewhere if you have his rights. Even if you traded his rights, he'd still be subject to the 7 round wage scale. He could sit for a year but still be subject to the same UDFA rules. If he didn't ever want to play for cheap, his best option was to get drafted and not sign. Then he could re-enter the draft next year. UDFAs don't have that option. All moot now as he took the logical route I suggested a few posts back.
