Free agent running back Alex Collins has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges for possession of a handgun and possession of marijuana, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears. In exchange, he had all of his felony charges dropped. 
Collins’ charges will be expunged from his record after three years and he’ll be fined only $200. However, the prospect of an NFL suspension still looms for the 2016 fifth-round pick and he’s not expected to be fully recovered from his broken leg until around Halloween.
Even before his arrest and subsequent dismissal from the team, Collins was very much on the Ravens’ roster bubble. Although he was terrific for Baltimore in 2017 and entered 2018 as the club’s No. 1 back, he managed just 3.6 yards per carry last season and was ultimately surpassed on the depth chart by Kenneth Dixon and UDFA Gus Edwards. He was a restricted free agent, but it was rumored that the Ravens were not going to tender Collins even at the lowest level. His arrest simply hastened his exit.
Still, Collins has plenty of upside, and given that he almost put together a 1,000-yard season in 2017 despite playing in just 12 games, he should garner some attention.
1,ooo yard lol
god i love comments like these on this site lol crack me up everytime
lol
That is grammatically correct.
If you were stating somebody ran for 1000 yards then it is plural.
But we are talking about a 1000 yard season. If he had more than one of those, the plural would go on the word “season” not the 1000 yard part.
“he almost put together a 1,000-yard season in 2017 despite playing in just 12 games,”
He started 12 games but played in 15 games.
He is also the owner of one the of the lamest TD celebrations in the known universe with his little Irish kick dance and twirl at the end.
This has been a disturbing trend with a lot of our younger Ravens in Baltimore, carrying around guns and drugs. Alex Collins isn’t the first. The Ravens have cut ties with a few other guys that have had run ins like this. Tim Williams is one of those guys, though they kept him around after his incident and let him go recently as the talent on the field didn’t merit keeping him.
Wonder why all these guys feel the need to carry around guns in Baltimore?
