I find both of these troubling.
One, Jaguars Center has followed almost the identical path as Britt.
Two, it still pisses me off that we passed on Collins. 1st round talent, taken in the 7th round was it?
"The former third-round pick was entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Linder moved to center in 2016, where he shined as one of the best young players at the position. Pro Football Focus rated Linder as their No. 5 center last season.
. The extension is worth $51.7 million, with $24 million guaranteed,"

Collins slid out of the draft altogether after his name arose in connection with the murder of a 29-year-old pregnant woman in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In the waning rounds of the 2015 draft, Collins' representatives instructed teams not to pick the former LSU star so that he could sign where he wanted in free agency and be able to reach a second contract sooner.
Collins was never considered a suspect
in the case, though many teams stayed away while scrambling for information.
Dallas came calling and welcomed the talented blocker into the best offensive line in football. Now, he's expected to dig in as the club's right tackle this season following the retirement of Doug Free.
