The New Orleans Saints have put themselves in the running for New England Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins, per a report from NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill. While the Saints have put their cards on the table in negotiations with the versatile defender, Underhill adds that New Orleans may need to raise its offer to seal the deal.
What could that contract offer look like? Collins’ teammate with the Patriots and fellow free agent Kyle Van Noy just agreed to terms on a four-year, $51 million contract with the Miami Dolphins (reuniting him with Dolphins coach and former Patriots defensive coordinator Brian Flores).
