The T-U and jaguars.com both often report signings well after the fact. Indeed, the T-U is wrong in this instance. In one of Jack Del Rio's interviews during the draft he explained that Collier had already been extended. The interview is somewhere in the audio section on this site. Also, if you look in my cap thread you'll see that back on April 29th I posted the following...

Looking up his details at the nflpa site (you now have to register at their site), Collier has a $950,000 base salary in '09, and a $1.1 mil base salary in '10. I'm guessing that on top of this he received a $450,000 signing bonus which counts $150,000 per year starting this year. This estimate leaves Collier with the following cap hits...
2008 - $595,000
2009 - $1,100,000
2010 - $1,250,000

Now, how could I have known his base salary details before he signed? The answer is, I can't. I never know these details until several days after the player signs.

Collier still a definite project but could really become something special. He is also really friendly if you see him and call him by name =)

What's new in regards to Collier is that they are now indicating that he is down to 345lbs, from his previous 360+.

Very true, he spent this of season working out. He looks in great shape. Evertime he came in to the shop he was in his work out attire this off season. I asked him what are you up to. He said "working out and training hard". I said, "man everyone else is on vacation why aren't you'. He replied by saying that he had to stay on top of his game to compete.

Last season when I first met him he was massive. The entire 360lbs were mos def there. My most recent talk with him had him slim and sleak looking. I joked and said, "who the heck is this" i don't recognize this guy. He just smiled and said "its just me". I laughed along with him.[/quote]

Way Cool!

Obviously they feel there are potentially big things ahead for Collier.

Now let's keep that new bonus money in the pocket and out of the clubs & bars Rich. ;)

The guy is still a project, but one that the team clearly sees as being worth it. We'll see what kind of progress he's made in conditioning when training camp rolls around.

Found this today:

Jaguars signed OT Richard Collier to an undisclosed extension.
The Jags have brought Collier along as a developmental tackle. At 6'7/360, he is certainly imposing. Collier appeared in four games and started one last year.
