Former Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins is finalizing a three-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.
The Cowboys released Collins on March 17 and designated it a post-June 1 move that will save them $10 million on their salary cap.
The Bengals, not far removed from their run to the Super Bowl, now have added offensive linemen Ted Karras, Alex Cappa and Collins during the NFL free-agency signing period to help protect star quarterback Joe Burrow.
The Cowboys had trade discussions with teams at the NFL scouting combine and had given Collins' agents, Deryk Gilmore and Peter Schaffer, the ability to seek a trade.
