Lions linebacker Jamie Collins didnāt participate in a walk-through Wednesday for non-injury reasons, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports the team is exploring trade options.
Collins has played 100 defensive snaps but has faced criticism for his play after the Lions allowed 76 points in two weeks. He has 10 tackles and a fumble recovery.
āLook, Jamie had some mistakes,ā coach Dan Campbell said, via Kyle Meinke of mlive.com. āIt wasnāt certainly his best performance.ā
Campbell said the Lions want to give fourth-round pick Derrick Barnes more time at linebacker.
Collins, who turns 32 later this month, is in his second season in Detroit.

Love what im hearing, Mike! Keep up the aggressiveness. Love your enthusiasm. ONE PRIDE!
I can see them getting a 5th rd maybe 6th he can contribute somewhere else. I agree with you younger is the best way at this point. And getting rid of the patriot players Iām all for it.
The Collins situation was Fād from the jump, we should of signed him after his NE release instead we overpay after one season in CLE, Thanks to Quinntriciaā¦heās a 5th/6th round at bestā¦All We Have to build with is Hock, Rag, Sew, Swift, Romeo, Fox, Jamal, & *Goff is a stop gap & jury is still out on rookiesā¦everything else is expendable IMOā¦Mikeāš¾šÆ
I agree trade Collins back to New England. He seems to play well there. Hope we either get a 3rd rnd pick or a young CB.
4th or 5th round could be realistic
Trey flowers need to be traded as well, get rid of all of these older players and let these young guys play
No one wants to pick up Collins' salary. Probably need to cut him.
trade him for a snowcone machine
get a defensive coordinator !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Sux 2b OLD!
š the moves this staff is making- 12 rd if lucky
Not š unless a LOT!
Good he needs to be traded or cut. He's simply to slow.
People thumbing this down are a bunch of morons. Sorry you didnt break this first~
Trade him to the buccs for Tyler Johnson, Jets for Denzel Mims, Dolphins for Devante Parker, or panthers for Robby Anderson
Let's get it done. I'll take a fourth or fifth, and even will throw in the blond linebacker š
I don't know as much detail as you myself. I just don't have the time. That's why I follow you because i appreciate so much your expertise which makes me understand better of what's actually going on and your videos are succinct and informative. Thanks!
Wow you are really passionate
Letās go with the youth movement. No more Patricia stink. No Anzalone, no Collins, we got Anthony Pittman and Barnes. Also AJ Jacobs has been incredible, 11th ranked corner in the NFL as a UDFA rookie. Jerry Jacobs and Bobby price also have impressed. The guy I want to trade for horribly is Marcus Willams from the Saints, he soooo much better than Will Harris, he would immediately make Tracy Walker and our corners look so much better. Experienced smart savvy veteran, heād be great.
You will have to basically get nothing in return, but that is alright. It will free up money for future free agents. Hopefully ones that will actually make this team better.
4round
Campbell and Holmes flushing the turds
If we do trade him away, I hope that we get more draft which hopefully will have a great draft pick.
4th round? 5th round? I donāt think so. In my humble opinion we would be fortunate to get a 6th round pick either in this coming draft or the next.
Shoot, at this point I'd trade him for a Happy Meal and one of Tom Brady's old deflated footballs from New England. Just don't make us take Tavai back.
Look for the KC Chiefs. They are looking for LB Help. If we can get a 4th rd pick Iād be happy
5th or 6th round pick would be a good deal. Collins has no energy, put the young buck Barnes in there!!!!
Jamie Collins was slacking and jogging to the ball all game, Monday Night. Byyyyyye Felicia
Iāll take a red Gatorade and a 6th round pick for Collins!
Would love a 3rd round pick but a 4th would be okay also.
Good way to improve lb room in the sense getting younger players time to play
When you have the worst defense in the league, it's time to get rid of a lot of the guys you have.
Please get rid of Flowers too…he plays about hmmmm 2 plays a game and that's it!
I'm president Micromike and I approve this message.
Bruh you are saying 3,4,5ā¦ā¦ come on you will barely get a 7 round picā¦ but they will definitely release him, heās not the same anymoreā¦
4th round
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE….LBs is not good besides Barnes.
… a free colonoscopy.
Ship flowers out with him
Holmes,Campbell and Dorsey are staying busy tweeking the roster while trying to preserve draft capital.This is good and will produce results.Keep in mind,the Lions brass is largely responsible for the current Rams,Chiefs and Browns rosters.They know what they are doing.
He is worth zero ?? The guy has lost all his speed and quickness
Wouldn't that be under the same grey lines of tanking by trading players away just bc they not part of the future
Totally agree with you sir. Letās take whatever draft capital we can get and keep developing Pitman and Beckett for next season as well. Barnes needs the reps and game experience and heās better for our defense immediately. Go Lions!
We need to trade Trey Flowers also,he's not doing nothing
He got beat to sideline on MNF when he was already there .. smh he's to slow.
A draft pick would be great but what if we simply trade him for either another LB or WR ? Either way it was time for him to go. As a veteran he was lacking as a leader on the field and with what the Lions are trying to do, he doesn't fit. Must go!
I think a 5thrd pick in 2023 would be best for the team.
Take Collins over shitty Anzalone heās the worst
Why does everyone want to blame the player? Blame this horrendous coaching staff for their inability to get the best out of these players. Obviously Collins had no enthusiasm for this coaching staff. Breshad Perriman and Geronimo Allison had no enthusiasm either. You say everyone who doesn't like it should get out? That's the best advice I've heard. All these players should jump off this sinking ship as fast as they can. Terrible ,embarrassing, dreadful organization. They will go 0-17.
Goff 0.9 w o mcvay. I mean 0-10…
