Colin explains why NFL teams are the safest to own because of their inability to become trapped in these huge player contracts. He thinks Dak Prescott at 26 years old is by far the best Cowboys quarterback they've had and deserves to get payed. He also believes that, even after the Saints resigned Michael Thomas, they'll still fall through the floor next year. And, Nick Saban answers Colin's request to play against stronger competition while Jon Gruden might have just let slip who the new starting QB will be for the Raiders.
