RT La’el Collins now FA

[Buffalogic]

Tore acl week 16 last season and bengals just released him off the pup list. Depending on the status of that rehab, maybe an option to push/replace brown if it comes to that.

Any interest he probably won't play for awhile.

If they let him go the injury might be still serious enough to doubt his ability to be coming back this season at all.

well last offseason signed him to be the starter and he was but this offseason they signed orlando brown from the chiefs for lt and now Williams is playing rt for him so no starting spot available anymore. Might be part of it.

This was what my understanding is. They saw an “upgrade” by signing Brown for LT which flipped Williams to RT, so Collins became too expensive to be depth.

He’s not great. Struggles in pass protection. But he’s better than Brown.
