I feel like no teams in the NFL make trades other than NE and CLE with each other
He was struggling this year but Lombardi and others are doing usual spin in pro BB way
Reality is Collins wanted to be paid longterm and BB didn't want to pay him. What always happens in these situations in which guy asks for significant raise is that BB lowballs them and trades them
Sometimes it has worked out and other times it hasn't. In this case the rush by some of BB fanboys in media to defend him and put all the struggles of Pats D on Collins says enough
Collins was not playing well but several players on Pats D aren't playing well currently and dumping Collins and laying blame on him is much better PR spin for Pats then admitting they are dumping him because of the stalled contract talks
I like this deal a lot for Browns if they extend him
