Cowboys Rumors: La'el Collins to Be Released After Exploring Trade Market

Offensive tackle La'el Collins has never played for an NFL team outside of the Dallas Cowboys for his entire career, but that will reportedly change in 2022.

The Cowboys will reportedly release La'el Collins while making it a post-June 1 designation, per ESPN's Todd Archer. The move saves the team $10 million against the salary cap for 2022 after spreading the player's $15.25 million cap hit across the next two seasons.

Word of the Cowboys moving Collins picked up steam in March when NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported they were "having active trade conversations centered around" him as they looked to make salary-cap moves with him due to make $10 million in base salary in 2022.
