Cowboys Cut La’el Collins For Cap Space; Already Talking to Bengals!
News broke earlier today that the Dallas Cowboys just released offensive tackle La’el Collins to make cap space. It’s crazy since he is one of the best tackles in the game is hitting the open market, mainly because the Cowboys couldn’t afford his services with their current cap predicament…
CelebnSports247.com reports that the Cincinnati Bengals are one step closer to signing former Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La’el Collins.
A mere hours after the Cowboys cut Collins and the Bengals were revealed as an interested party, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Collins has a visit lined up with the team.

The fit is a no-brainer for both parties. The Bengals desperately need help at right tackle and Collins is possibly looking to rehab his value after injuries marred his last two years.
Bengals line coach Frank Pollack coached up Collins over his first few seasons in the league — and the LSU connection with Joe Burrow and others probably doesn’t hurt, either.
It’s hard to say what Collins might get contract-wise after teams failed to trade for his affordable contract before the Cowboys let him go. But locking him in would net the Bengals a right tackle, which they very much need.
