D.B.N. Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Quote FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Jalen Collins has been suspended without pay for the first 10 games of the 2017 regular season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing substances. It’s a 10-game ban because this is Collins’ second suspension for the same violation. Last year Collins was suspended without pay and missed the first four games of the regular season. Collins will be eligible to return to the Falcons’ active roster on Nov. 21 – the day after Atlanta’s Week 11 “Monday Night Football” game in Seattle against the Seahawks. While serving the suspension, Collins is eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games leading up to Week 1 of the regular season. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff issued the following statement regarding Collins’ suspension: “We are extremely disappointed that for the second straight season we are dealing with a suspension for Jalen. Such are the consequences when certain choices are made. Our decisions going forward will be based on what Dan and I feel is best for the team.” Collins, 24, saw increased playing time in his second season playing in eight games for the Falcons last season, starting six of them. The cornerback posted 28 tackles, two interceptions and broke up 10 passes. In two seasons in Atlanta, Collins has started eight games, tallied 39 tackles and three assists. The Falcons drafted the former LSU standout in the second round (42nd overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltstorm2 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 He's gone, next suspension is a year. Way too risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GleasonForever! Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 If making $100,000 plus a year still not enough for you to not use PED's then you have a serious problem. Really difficult to understand this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybird3 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Why we are paying both Tru and Alf.. Looks like Goodwin and Poole are the future at the moment Edited August 6, 2017 by Dirtybird3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B.N. Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 We still have very impressive CB depth. Tru Alford and Poole with Olatoye/Goodwin is still very solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1ATLFALCONSFAN Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) There's NO EXCUSE! Players have doctors/nutritionists who keep track with what they can and can not put in their body. So at this point he's just making bone head decisions Edited August 6, 2017 by #1ATLFALCONSFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEIST Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Well it's a good thing we didn't trade Tru at the draft *hits self over head* dumbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomahawk Choppa Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I wonder if we take a look at another cb. Maybe Revis. He'll obviously have to sign for vet minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
