Twitter: Steele told he will remain starter at RT

[Corso]

How long will this "wake up " call last ..??

The Snooze button is working a little too well.

 

[CATCH17]

No one is trading a # 1 for Tyrone Smith let alone Collins . The over inflated value people have of these beloved Cowboys.

Then he isn’t leaving.

It’s not a over inflated price. If he was a Stud Left Tackle he’d get multiple first rounders plus probably other compensation.

Tyron Smith doesn’t have value because of age and wear and tear. Dallas would never part with him anyways.

La’el Collins has 4 seasons at least left in him and teams are desperate for lineman.

So it’s a situation of pay up or not get him. Dallas would laugh and hang up the phone if someone offered a 3rd unless the guy had become so toxic that they just have to get him away from the team at all costs.

The OL has been together for 5 games. All wins. You don't mess with that.

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

The only way this makes sense is if Collin's conditioning is not there yet.

It makes sense to me because Steele has shown he's up for the job, and we know Connor Williams is a FA and has the most penalties, so La'el will be our new LG next year and will replace Connor THIS year if Connor doesn't get it together.

 

[Beaker42]

No, it’s not - he started against the Bucs. He ***** up by allowing his agent to buck the 2-game suspension.

 

[RonWashington]

Collins has now missed the better part of 18 months of action. I say keep him around this year to go for the Schlitz gusto why trade him this yr. Again no one is calling Dallas and handing over # 1 picks for this guy . Not even the Jets who surrender draft picks for old bus driving back up QB’s

Eh, we’ll see how long it lasts. You don’t bench La’el Collins for “continuity” reasons or whatever.

Something else is at play.

Passive-aggressive disciplining.

Wasn't it Collins who ultimately benched himself? Even if he is better than Steele, and I don't think he is at this point in his career, Collins became unavailable to the team because of willful ignorance. You can't depend on that.

 

[CATCH17]

Passive-aggressive disciplining.

Could very well be.

I think what makes the most sense is he is going to guard.

It makes the entire unit better.

He looked great in week 1.

He looked great in week 1.

...and they haven't missed a beat since.

I'll welcome seeing how it goes, should such a thing happen.

 

[Beaker42]

I take it you haven’t seen Steele play this year yet.

He has - he’s just B’ing and M’ing.

 

[Beaker42]

It's bad enough we have a backup at QB.

GTFOOH with that.

 

[fivetwos]

Oh you don’t trade him for anything less than a first.

Teams are desperate for quality offensive lineman. Especially a Tackle. You can’t find them. The Giants would do back flips to have La’el Collins.

He’s getting a big haul if he is moved. For either a stud on a rookie deal or a 1.

I'll personally drive him to the airport for a first.

Can't see it but I suppose dumber trades have been made in the past.

I think I'd do it for a second actually.

Unless he is just a toxic guy for the franchise I’d rather keep him then trade him for anything less than a 1 or a pro bowl level guy on a rookie deal.

He’s cheap and a way above average player.

 

[Flamma]

This is likely more about La'el having played incredibly little over the past year and a half than about sending a message.

That's what I'm thinking as well. It's more about Collins probably not being the player he was than anything else.

 

[Corso]

That's what I'm thinking as well. It's more about Collins probably not being the player he was than anything else.

I disagree. He looked great Game 1.

 

[Flamma]

I disagree. He looked great Game 1.

a lot can happen between week 1 and week 8.
