Report: Cowboys' La'el Collins Tried to Bribe NFL Drug-Test Collector

Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins was suspended by the NFL after trying to bribe the league drug-test collector, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Collins was suspended five games in September for violating the league's substance abuse policy. However at the time news of the suspension was released, ESPN reported Collins did not fail any tests.

Players cannot be suspended for positive marijuana tests under the NFL's collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association. Instead, per ESPN, Collins was suspended for missing multiple tests and trying to bribe the test collector.

According to ESPN, the league was preparing to suspend Collins five games, but the NFLPA helped negotiate the suspension to just two games.
