La’el Collins, a former LSU standout offensive lineman, has been a staple of the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line for the past few years.
Now, though, he’s heading to a new team for the 2022 season, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Per Schefter, Collins is expected to sign with the defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals:

Collins went undrafted in 2015 amid legal issues, even though he was not considered a suspect in the case he was connected to. He eventually signed with the Cowboys.
Now, he’ll be tasked with helping to protect fellow former LSU star, QB Joe Burrow. Offensive line play was a major weak spot for the Bengals last year. Collins will be counted on to turn it into a strength this fall.
