PFT: La'el Collins out of camp with a personal issue

[Bowdown27]

Shocker.

 

[Jarntt]

Collins clearly has more talent than guys we will be rostering and probably even starting, but then there are things like this that make you glad he is gone.

I don’t know the personal issues that Collins had but when the Cowboys gave him that big extension he supposed to be our best offensive lineman by now. Very disappointing in the way Collins played the last two seasons. Can’t trust the guy on and off the field.

 

[G2]

This is a Dallas matter how?

 

[BourbonBalz]

I miss work because I had a family member in the hospital. I've missed work because I had a sick kid at home. I've missed work because I had a family member die. I've missed work because a friend of mine died. I miss work because one of my best friends, mother passed. I've missed work because one of my best friends, brothers died.

So none of you guys have never had a personal reason for missing work?

The problem is it’s always something with Collins. There’s an undeniable trend.

 

[LucaBrasi]

the current coaching staff found him completely unreliable, justifiably since he missed 21 of the first 22 games they were here. I kind of get his release although dumb and dumber completely telegraphed his departure so they got zilch for him.

I still can't comprehend the Amari Cooper situation. He's now like the 11th highest paid WR in the league, so they failed to read where the market was trending (no surprise!), they got next to nothing for a still productive threat, he's 28 years old, and they essentially failed to deal with that replacement wise. And Jed Clampett can talk about "availability" all he wants but Cooper played in 56 of a possible 58 games for the Cowboys.

 

[Ranched]

Who?!

Didn’t the Cowboys release him? Why do Cowboys fans care?

 

[zrinkill]

Hope all is well with the big guy .... Always liked Collins

 

[Havic]

Buyers remorse yet?

Bengals right tackle La’el Collins has not practiced much in training camp. He was out again Wednesday, missing practice with what Zac Taylor said was a personal issue about which he wasn’t comfortable commenting, per Richard Skinner of WKRC.

Collins signed a three-year, $21 million contract with $5 million guaranteed with the Bengals after seven seasons with the Cowboys, who cut him during the offseason. He began training camp on the non-football injury list with a back issue.

Never saw this one coming. No one hates returning to practice more than La'el Collins.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Good riddance

 

[adbutcher]

He is one of them dudes that it will always be something. Positive or negative, something...

 

[goshan]

Where are all the fans that said we were 'dumb' for letting him go. How could front office be so dumb?

 

[J_Allen]

We let Collins, Cooper, and Gregory leave for good reasons.

 

[Bullflop]

There could be a multitude of reasons why La'el is absent -- none of which I really care about at this point!
It is whatever it is! Glad he's not our problem to deal with any longer. Looks like we were lucky on this deal.

Yeah we lucked out with a backup starting at RT.

Looks like you're unwittingly correct, sir. But so easily we'd yet have been stuck with his BS yet again. Let's see if he recovers.

As far as Terence Steele is concerned, that's another story for another time. Stuff happens all the time, some good, some bad.

Not sure why you're saying "we." Everyone here knows you're not a Cowboys' fan. Spread discontent somewhere else, if you will.

 

[MyFairLady]

+1

 

[CowboyRoy]

Hmmmm......lol
