No one is giving a 1st for him

He's another in the LSU connection

Remember when trading for Cordy Glenn was great

He's played a fill season twice in his 6 year career

He comes in a a $15 MIL cap hit

We shouldn't have tagged Bates

$10m/yr

Cowboys already paid his signing bonus when he signed the deal, option bonus in 2020 when they picked it up, and his restructure bonus when they did the restructure, leaving just a $10m/yr annual base salary. It's actually strange, because supposedly the Cowboys are only clearing $1.35m in cap space this year. Granted they get $15.25m off next year.

Collins might be the best answer for RT the Bengals will find. There were good FA options for all three IOL spots, but I had thought that RT would have to be addressed in the draft. Using a draft pick to get Collins might be just as good if not better.
