CelebnSports247.com report that the Bengals remain a possible landing spot for the 28-year-old right tackle, though, and the Dolphins are monitoring his situation.
According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, La’el Collins‘ Bengals visit concluded without the well-regarded right tackle signing, but the defending AFC champions remain interested.
La’el Collins left Cincinnati without a deal, but there is no visit planned with Dolphins at this time. Dolphins, while monitoring Collins situation, appear up to something else (Armstead? praying for development of the kids?) They’ve told one 3rd tier OT they might be in touch

Although, The Dolphins, per USA Today’s Tyler Dragon, join the Bengals in making a strong push for Collins. No Dolphins visit is scheduled:
Bengals and Dolphins are two teams making a strong push for free-agent tackle La’el Collins. Collins met with Bengals brass on Friday, per league sources.

Meanwhile, The Dolphins are also believed to have interest in left tackle Terron Armstead, who is regarded as the top lineman in this year’s free-agent cycle but has yet to sign with a team. If the Dolphins sign Armstead, they could play Liam Eichenberg or Robert Hunt at right tackle in 2022.
Bleacher Nation reports:
Armstead, a 30-year-old left tackle, makes a whole bunch of sense as a Bears target. And there was a belief that a Deshaun Watson trade was holding up Armstead’s market. But with Watson joining the Browns, shouldn’t that logjam be clearing out by now? Or is Armstead now going to be the one putting a freeze on this particular free agent market. By that, I mean will Armstead be the one whose signing sets the value in the tackle market. Or will teams instead angle to get Collins before the price of the free agent right tackle rivals his left-side counterpart.
