I think there is a limit and I don't think it is much.
Guy went undrafted because of some recent murder investigation (he is not a suspect)... but was a first round prospect out of LSU. Now that he's a UDFA he can sign wherever he wants... there isn't a team in the league that wouldn't want him.
Maybe the Raiders not spending all of their money in FA might come in handy here. Is there a limit to how much you can throw at UDFA's?

Sucks because if I'm not mistaken he cannot re-enter a new draft. I'd be pissed if I were him.
He is a first-round talent and would have gone in the first if this had happened a while ago and he was cleared. Any team would be lucky to get him.
http://overthecap.com/what-can-lael-...ed-free-agent/Every undrafted rookie is locked into signing a three year contract. The three year contract will contain the minimum Paragraph 5 salary in each year, which will equal payouts of $435,000 in 2015, $525,000 in 2016, and $615,000 in 2017. These are the same numbers as rookies drafted after the 3rd round and many of the players drafted in the third round, so it is not a major loss for Collins of any player who was not projected to be a 2nd round pick.
The UDFA’s are very limited in terms of signing bonus money. I don’t have the final number in front of me but IIRC each team can spend, in total, about $88,000 on all their undrafted rookies. That usually means a large number of players receiving signing bonuses that will not exceed $8,000. So that is a limiting factor for a player who is not drafted. The smallest signing bonus a 7th round pick will receive likely to be about $52,000. So that is a pretty big loss considering for many players the bonus is the only salary they will ever receive.
Rex Ryan recently met with him in Baton Rouge...make it happen!
bills might get a first rounder after all...
Jimmy Johnson knew what it was all about at Miami. Bring in a bunch of thugs with an at ude. Now a days everyone is so damn uptight it's comical.
Blacks have been knocking women around forever, they just didn't have cameras stuck everywhere. So Ray Rice becomes a monster, sheesh~~~~~ This situation with this kid is stupid, but they have to act stupid anymore.
Give me those wrong side of the tracks guys all day long.
yeah go after all the guys that will be suspended and out of the league. BRILLIANT
Pay attention stupid....
Avante....I hand picked you guys for a reason, I'm out to prove a point. All of you were passed over because of your past, the past, ok? This is all about the future, and new beginnings. This is your chance to show all those who passed on you that they made a huge mistake. So who out there is on board with me?
sounds great, then he gets arrested again 2 weeks later and is going to miss 10 weeks
These young guys are looking for a father figure, if you can sell you really do care about them as humans and not just footballers I think they'd see what's going on and make it work. Why be so pessimistic?
let it go. he's too young for you.
You might be a , I'm not.
Dude, sailor in a bar, why act re ed over that?
Well that changes everything.
I can picture Rex using this explanation to sell a Collins signing to the fans
If we didn't draft that woman beater from Michigan, we'd look at the dude. Bet he ends up in Orchard Park.
