Twitter: Lael Collins will be designated IR return

[gimmesix]

per Rappaport, so take FWIW

Maybe he can play tight end and we can bench Escobar.

They may want to reconsider Hanna after tonight.

Can't be worse than free at rt

Great choice, he can back up both OT and both G and also come in on 3rd and short as TE.

Guards cost a lot less than some other positions. The Cowboys have made the OL the center of their identity. Spending 6M per on Leary would not be a bad investment.

If Collins could play RT, then it would be a terrific investment to cut Free and save 5M, then sign Leary for 6M per. Collins may or may not be an ideal RT candidate but I feel certain that he would be as good as Free.

You keep saying that but he is likely to be the best guard to hit the market. You also keep cherry picking Yanda's contract to make your point.

$6m AAV would put behind a dozen other older contracts including the top paid $11.7m made by Osemele. It's a pipe dream. A $9m deal would likely be him taking a discount.

I get that you are keen on replacing Free and I like the idea of improving the weakest link but you are more likely to get that through the draft. Trading Romo for a top 50 pick could do the trick.

Travis Frederick makes 9.4M average. He is more valuable than Leary.

Osemele was signed to play OT.

Teams all still have the medical reports on his knee that prevented all of them from drafting him.
