Cowboys Releasing Veteran OT La’el Collins

Collins, 31, signed on with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of LSU in 2015. He was set to make a base salary of $616,750 for the 2017 season when the Cowboys signed him to a two-year, $15.4 million extension through 2019. 

Collins was in the third year of his five-year, $50 million deal and was set to earn a base salary of $10 million for the 2022 season when he was cut. The Bengals later signed Collins to a three-year, $30 million deal before later releasing him.

The Cowboys signed Collins briefly to their practice squad in 2023, but he didn’t appear in a game. He then signed with the Bills in April of 2024 and was let go by the team in August.

Dallas brought Collins back for training camp a few weeks ago. 

In 2022, Collins appeared in and started 15 games for the Bengals at right tackle.
