Mike Smith and Thomas Dimitroff should throw a minimum salary contract his way.

Matt Ryan knows how to pass the ball without leaving his receiver out to dry a la Peyton Manning.

He’d be a good fit with the Patriots. They’ll know to use him.

He could also take some inspiration from someone like Anthony Gonzalez. Once the injuries pile-up, take what’s left of the youth and money and go back to school and/or some other post-football field.

He will bounce back and he will get his opportunity to prove he still belongs in this league …. good player and character guy… with the difficulty of finding effective pass catchers he will have no problem… as long as he’s willing to except the veteran minimum for a season until he proves that the injuries and concussions haven’t limited his ability to be a contributor on sundays

could you imagine how good a guy like Titus Young would be if he had the character of a guy like Collie….I hope he does what ever he wants with his future but this guy would make a great coach

Half of these comments and 100% of Collie’s/Irsay’s/Colts’ comments prove that people don’t have the slightest clue and regard for their health, as it pertains to Concussions.

Austin Collie was damaged good two seasons ago – he probably averages more concussions per catch than Touchdowns.

A LOT of people need a sobering dose of reality, and comparing a non-football-related disease to his extreme propensity to attract SEVERE football-related injuries that can cause SEVERE long-term brain damage, it is OBVIOUS the NFL as a whole is NOT thinking clearly.

Broncos or ravens. If Bolden release/retires. Needs to take care of his head, hope he doesn’t scramble his eggs anymore than they already are

I bet he ends up in the Broncos camp.

The thing I remember most about him was when the Saints beat the Colts in the Superbowl he and Clark were the only Colts receivers not to drop a pass that day. I remember thinking that if the Saints didn’t find a way to cover him I was going to be heartbroken that day because the Colts were going to win the game. I’m not sure but Peyton went away from him until the last part of the game. The kid is a baller, that being said I really hope his doesn’t put himself at risk if he doesn’t need to. I don’t know how much he’s made playing sports but if he’s been smart he should be OK

It’s terrifying watching this guy run patterns over the middle. He’d have better odds being the drummer for Spinal Tap.

Hopefully Collie comes to his senses and retires.

Couple more concussions and he may not remember who Pagano even is.

Someone will give him a chance to come to camp, considering how productive he was before the knee injury.

It’s refreshing to hear comments like this from a quality young man. Hang in the Austin, and I hope you can hook up with a quality team and enjoy some injury free seasons.

Dude….. do you want to remember your playing days 10 years from now? Do you want to be like Chris Miller and have to carry a slip of paper in your pocket with your address written on it wherever you go, because you often forget where you live?

Hang up your spurs. Your brain isn’t something you can fix once scrambled, you don’t need to make it any worse for yourself. Life is **really** long, much longer than your NFL career.
