The NFL’s 2022 league year has started meaning free agency is a go and some former Tigers have inked deals with new teams.
The most impactful signing is La’el Collins inking a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals and will help protect Joe Burrow. It was obvious that offensive line was the Bengals’ weakness through Burrow’s first two years as a pro and Cincy’s spent at least $50 million—the terms of Collins’s deal haven’t been announced at the time of this writing—trying to protect their franchise quarterback. With Cincy signing Collins, Alex Kappa, and Ted Karras they’re definitely trying to do right by Burrow.
