Remember La'el Collins?

[atlantacowboy]

Fully agree, but the agent ain’t gonna want to hear it.

No one can expect anyone to take less, BUT in this case winning would benefit Prescott more than the extra cash in many ways.

But the agents keep score by keeping salaries on the rise, they tell clients to let them handle it, and what we are discussing is out the window.

Also it’s not exactly a guarantee that the team would invest the savings in players around him since they haven’t in forever. Probably would just end up in Stephens inheritance fund.

I think Daks contract keeps us from giving Tyron Smith a decent new offer. Now we go into the draft needing a tackle. Not sure how giving away Daks pro bowl blind side protector and replacing him with a rookie is going to help him.

The leverage here is endorsement money. Dak banks 50M a year only bc he is the highly visible qb of the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry’s spineless but he should be threatening to make Dak a post June 1st cut if he doesn’t sign something that reflects the fact he’s no Mahomes. Threatening Daks off field money is how you get his agent to the table.

Dak is sabotaging himself with the contract demands. His contract is why we won’t be resigning a lot of guys including Tyron Smith.

No one knows Dak's demands. Gotta stop listening to the media.

lol. You got a better source?

 

[DuncanIso]

Seems like he broke down hard.

I think he has a bad hip?

 

[john van brocklin]

That's a great idea if Jerry's goal is to completely sabotage Dak this year to resign him to a minimal deal.

You mean get Dak killed?

We resigned him back to the team at the end of the regular season for depth. With Tyron Smith possibly gone, could we get Collins to play LT for us, i'm not sure if he likes playing guard, I know he didn't when he was here. Any chance he could be brought back to play LT, I pain to think of bothering Tyler to move out to OT when he's been fine at guard!!!! Please give your ideas on this post!!!!

My THOUGHTS are that Smith is young and talented enough to make the change to LT, arguably the most important position on the OL. Collins can serve as a backup swing tackle. Draft a LG and hope one of our current backups has developed enough to step up.

Collins at LG and Smith at LT

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

Old, out of shape, injured.

Pass

You forgot "disinterested".

If he could get his head out of his rectal cavity, he would be a good LG and we could move Tyler to LT.

 

[Ring6]

I can barely remember Steele

 

[The Quest for Six]

Collins is a guard, better idea is to kick Tyler out to left tackle and COllins compete for the left guard spot...

Dude got paid and is now more interested in fishing than playing football. Can’t do much to change that.

There is always a new bass boat to buy.

Mr no hips Collins isn't playing lt on a regular basis...

 

[buybuydandavis]

Collins could barely play RT, so that’s a hard no.

Collins was borderline Pro Bowl at RT. He was a very good for a couple of years. PFF peaked at 86 in 2019.

 

[Brooksey]

I liked him at Left guard

Good players with chronic health conditions are a decent fit as backups. They can last few games, but not a whole season.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Seems like he broke down hard.

Helman said La'el's hip was "bone on bone" during one broadcast. Talked about it as potentially career ending.
That story went nowhere, but I doubt he made it up.

 

[Bullflop]

I suspect there's likely a valid reason why the C'boys have relegated La'el Collins to being a backup on the OL. They know him all too well.

 

[LysleE]

That dude has not been the same since he injured his hip during his first stint with the Cowboys…he is damaged goods with a poor work ethic…oh wait…in Dallas he is a perfect candidate for an o-line position!

That was almost five years ago, he is nowhere the same now.
