Bengals signing OT La’el Collins

Except that we could have given up a pick to Dallas and had him signed cheap for 3 years.

Dolphins simply don’t care about protecting Tua the way other teams do with their young QBs.
Saying we would have had him “signed on the cheap” may not be completely accurate.

If we traded for him not only would we have given up draft capital we would have absorbed his contract which breaks down like this;

“Collins is set to count $15.2, $15.2, and $13.4 million against the Cowboys cap the next three years.”

 
Obviously not our preferred target or you would think we would have thrown this at him without flinching.....time will tell what our intentions are.
 
LSU connections, always made winners his priority (see when he was a FA out of the draft)

Injury history with his base so medicals were important (Dolphins medical staff evaluation could have determined this as a no go)

Most importantly he is a slip up away from being suspended indefinitely. Not a great look, a team who lost their LG and lost a lot of offensive talent wants to get rid of him. Maybe “joe cool” can make it work but that division will be so much tougher just with everyone who was injured last year. I see them as 3rd in the division
 
Just because we could afford that offer, doesn't mean he would've accepted it from us.
Exactly. People are all acting like we didn’t offer him a deal or didn’t offer a low pick.
It’s been reported that Dallas turned down numerous low pick offers because they designated him as post June 1 cut.
We might’ve had the same offer on the table and he picked Cincy 🤷‍♂️
 
Is Armstead really twice as good as this guy? They're saying Armstead most likely 20M per year, right?
