The Bengals made their biggest splash of the offseason thus far on Sunday, bringing aboard former Cowboys offensive lineman La’el Collins.
Collins, 28, is poised to become a focal point of the protection unit for quarterback Joe Burrow in 2022 and beyond after signing a three-year deal worth up to $30 million. It’s a role he’s ready to embrace.
After finalizing his contract with Cincinnati, Collins revealed that he got a text from Burrow asking “Deal done?” with multiple question marks. The offensive lineman said that he responded with a simple promise to his new quarterback.
