So your answer is hoping Atlanta won't go after the better packages other teams would offer and instead let Collins go for nothing in free agency? Best chance for SA, bad choice for ATL. If Collins' agent was adamant about going to SA, then you'd figure they would find a third time to work with who would take Lonnie. If ATL didn't care about Collins' request to go to SA, they would just go for the best package available.
Also, sending ATL promising players like Lonnie while making sure the salaries match up is going to be very difficult for any team. Which other teams have players on their roster who are still on their rookie contract (and worthwhile enough for Atlanta to trade for) that they'd be willing to depart with for Collins?
