Collins has never played for an NFL team outside of the Dallas Cowboys for his entire career, but that will change in 2022.
The Cowboys will reportedly release La&el Collins while making it a post-June 1 designation. The move saves the team $10 million against the salary cap for 2022.
In March, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that the Cowboys were having active trade conversations with other teams about Collins, who was due to make $10 million in base salary in 2022.
The veteran offensive lineman will be released by the team.
Collins was suspended for five games for trying to bribe a drug tester. He tried to bribe the collector.
Collins appealed the suspension in front of an arbiter who both rejected the appeal and ruled that the suspension should go back to the original five games.
He started 10 games and appeared in 12 despite being benched for a time.
He was given an overall player grade of 82.0 by Pro Football Focus, which shows how effective he was on the field.
Collins started 47 of 48 games for the Cowboys over the course of two years. He is just 28 years old and is in his prime for the foreseeable future.
There should still be interest in the open market for the impact player despite Dallas not being able to find a trade partner.
