The most popular guess is:

Bengals get Collins and Cowboys 3rd Round (88) and Cowboys 6th Round (201) - Dallas gets the Bengals 2nd Round (63)



The 2 straight up guesses:

Bengals get Collins - Dallas gets the Bengals 3rd Round (95)

Bengals get Collins - Dallas gets the Bengals 4th Round (135)



These are simply guesses from the other side, they are pretty much in agreement that the deal will be better than the Cooper deal due to Collins being a top tier player with such a team friendly contract.  

Miami and the Raiders are in a better situation regarding draft position than us.  ESPN reported Miami has a deal with Armstead worked out, not sure if that impacts them or not with Collins as they have more cap space and cash than we do.

This deal makes way too much sense for the Bengals, at least in my opinion. But who knows?

I think that the Cowboys want at minimum a #1 and a late rounder. They’ll find someone. Lots of teams desperate. But I’ve warmed up to taking Collins. If we don’t have to give up more than a 2nd rounder. Get a good center in FA and draft best available guard or tackle at #31. Still leaves corner exposed. Would like a corner @ 63
