Twitter: The Patriots have weighed acquiring Dallas OL La'El Collins via trade

Source is a Patriots beat writer for the Boston Herald. Not sure why he doesn't have a blue check.

Its gonna be interesting to see how BB des with La’els nonsense

Let's see how this goes. Certainly not going to expect much

Like Cooper, if the Cowboys can get anything at all for a player they are simply willing to cut, they have to take it.

The Patriots might not be willing to get into a bidding war for Collins so trading for him makes sense for them too.

He’s a beat writer for the Boston Globe. He’s not Schefter but he’s not random Joe lol

 

[Bullflop]

Two bags of Fritos and a piggyback ride won't be regarded as ample for La'el -- 1 bag and BB might suffice!
(H-m-m, maybe we could generously consider throwing in MM as a tempting bonus!) Shot in the dark.

Pats wont even give a used jock strap for him. Low ball city coming.

He'd probably end up winning the division over it.

Well something has to happen in the next 6 days.

Conditional 2030 7th rounder ? LOL

Bill is getting ready to take Jerrah’s boat from him.

If they are dead set on getting rid of him, I'd rather just release him as a post June 1 cut. I only trade him for a 3rd or better, which is probably unlikely to happen...

Same.

$10 million to spend on a free agent is more valuable than a 5th rounder.

 

[Creeper]

So the great Bill Belichick has interest in La'el Collins. Belichick is not a guy who expresses interest in dumb players which leads me to believe a lot of the negative comments about Collins on this forum are not accurate.
By the way, the Pats took a 5th round pick from the Bucs for Mason. I would have made that deal if I was Jerry. Mason is much better than Connor Williams.

Bill will get him with a 7th and Jerrah will give them a 5th to top it off.

I'd go as low as a 5th

He's already been reported.

For all those that said Collins was a jag, lazy, etc this kind of makes one take a second look. BB does not go after a player without really checking him out.

Because of the cap hit, right ?
