The Patriots are doing their “due diligence” on former Cowboys and Bengals offensive tackle La’el Collins, who was cut by Cincinnati this week according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.
New England has made a couple of moves to bolster the tackle spot in recent weeks, acquiring Vederian Lowe and Tyrone Wheatley Jr. via trades.
Collins enjoyed success with the Cowboys at the beginning of his career, signing a five-year $50 million contract extension with the franchise in 2019.
But, Collins missed the entirety of the 2020 season with hip and groin injuries.
