Isn't he a LT? Collins is a RT.

Nope. He signed a contract with the Rams thry 2023. They are paying dead cap because of him this year and next. You cannot retire/unretire to make yourself a FA or get out of a contract. Guys would do it all the time if they could. It would be total chaos. If he plays, he has to play for the Rams unless they waive him. Not sure, but I do not know if they get dead cap relief if we sign him after the waiver, but I do not think so. 

And once they waive him, he'd have to go thru waivers. Bou, IDK if he makes it through. He could say, I'll only play for Cincy. Thay might disuade teams from a claim. And if course, they would have to have an open roster spot to actually claim him, which could create an issue. Do you risk losing a guy to orevent us from signing him? Maybe. 

Then, there is the question of if he can play after riding a desk all year. 41. Switching sides. 

It is a longshot. But we do have an open roster slot. We also have 2 games left and very limited cap space. We may need to sign another guy if someone else goes down vs Buffalo or Baltimore.
