La’el Collins’ days in Big D have come to an end.
According to Tom Pelissero, the Dallas Cowboys have released the right tackle after seven years with the team.
Owner/general manager Jerry Jones was initially exploring a trade for Collins but was unable to find any club willing to take on his $10-million annual salary.
The move has been designated a post-June 1 cut – one that will save the Cowboys $10 million in cap space for 2022. However, Collins’ release also comes with an $8.7 million dead cap hit in 2023.
