Rumor the Packers are gonna cut him, but in the same article it said he was back to healthy from neck surgery. He was an excellent S when healthy, any chance we throw our hat in?

I'm very familiar with cervical fusions like Mannings, you either heal or not. Collins wouldn't be trying to play at all if he couldn't. I already heard him state as much...basically saying if I have to retire health wise, so be it.

I heard he was already cleared by his own doctors.

If he can get cleared by the Falcons doctors, then why not? I wouldn't pay him much more than the veteran minimum with some possible incentives, but before his injury he was one of the 3 or 5 best free safeties in the game. Because you can leave him on an island with a top quality TE and not be scared he's going to get destroyed.
