The Cincinnati Bengals made a huge move to bolster their offensive line on Sunday, and their new addition is already telling Joe Burrow what he wants to hear.
Former Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La’el Collins has agreed to a deal with the Bengals. After the news broke, Collins shared the awesome message he delivered to Burrow.
Burrow was sacked 51 times last season, which was more than any other quarterback in the NFL. The Bengals were in desperate need of experienced linemen who can protect their franchise cornerstone, and Collins should be able to do exactly that.
Collins visited the Bengals over the weekend and was originally supposed to take other free-agent visits this week. Burrow obviously did not want that to happen. Albert Breer of The MMQB says Burrow personally hosted Collins at his house on Friday night.
Collins is one of the best tackles in the NFL when healthy. We’d be shocked if he doesn’t help bring Burrow’s sack numbers down next season.
