The important thing is the signing bonus is small, so getting away from the Collins contract is easy after the guaranteed years pass by. It's a good deal for the team - he clearly wanted to play with the Skins at some point in his career.

Everyone really needs to ignore the $14M average annual value because with the way it's structured it's much more like a 2-3 year deal with options to continue the relationship.

Collins and the agent said they wanted the highest average annual value, Collins said he wanted to be a Redskin, and the team said OK we'll make it all happen but we're not taking a lot of risk by giving a big signing bonus. And they made it work.

As always we have to wait for full contract details before we can judge a free agent signing. This one's good.
