Uh oh indeed … not ideal

Last I heard he needed a physical https://t.co/YKR5Bs5QRc pic.twitter.com/SyL8j5Y9JZ

I hope they’re already working on plan B? Daryl Williams?

Are we still using the same top notch medical team that flagged Shaq Barrett as medically unfit?

There we go. What I was worried about all along. Here come the dolphins and guess what? That will ***** pay to get players. We have money. But we are stubborn about it. This is embarrassing

La'el Collins left Cincinnati without a deal, but there is no visit planned with Dolphins at this time. Dolphins, while monitoring Collins situation, appear up to something else (Armstead? praying for development of the kids?) They've told one 3rd tier OT they might be in touch

The Bengals have flat out paid some players. This is bs.

Tough to hear that he left, but I trust the FO. Wonder what the hang up was, I'm interested in seeing what the plan is.

Embarrassing why?
Do we have the full story or just what people are putting on twitter

La’el Collins has left Cincinnati.

No deal has been made at this time.

We have had atrocious blocking for years and at risk of ruining a franchise QB and we have people here wanting the best blocker since Whit to be on a single (or 1/2?) year prove it contract?

Sorry but it's dumb and I hate to come across as disrespectful, but yes my opinion is that it is one of the dumber takes as to a player acquisition.

and i think it is dumb to ignore why Dallas let him go, it was not cap space total issue , they had already let guys go with freed up some cap space so they could have kept him.. here is the best reasons they let him go outside of saving $$

He had been in and out of lineup with hip injury that he missed all 2020 plus 2021 suspension and missed game in this season also... what is wrong with a prove it contract?

Yeah, I doubt this is over money. They just paid an OG $40 million dollars.

Because some guy tweeted a gif and that’s how we get our news now lol
Guess we can’t believe every gif we see. Let this be a lesson.

Very embarrassing. We lost the super bowl because of a crappy o line. We had one of the highest cap spaces in the league and we sign 1 solid player (TB player) and a borderline backup/starter (NE player) to a cheap 6M/year deal.

We need some freaking protection for Burrow. The browns trade for Cooper and trade and sign Watson. Say what you want about their future with these deals, but the Browns are the team to beat in the AFC. The crushed us…without a capable QB. Now they have a top 10 QB and a stacked team.

But we have 2 new O lineman, and 2 holes still. All is well though.

He was not in and out of the lineup this season after his surgery. And yes the Cowboys purge was all about money. Every position they had a capable backup and the money was a huge differential they made a move out side of core players. 

If he has a med problem it wasnt known by the Cowboys according to their insiders.  The hip may have prevented them from moving him to guard.. but nothing worth failing a physical.  Who knows what this is...

Not sure how Malik was wrong? The gif implied it was down to the physical, and it might have been the reason the Bengals backed out.

We only pay players that sell jerseys. 

Hey,

It's my initial reaction that this is going to be about money. And he goes to the dolphins or somewhere that will give him the guaranteed money he wants. 

I'm often wrong. Not trying to say it's fact. Just what I think at this point based on 30 years of watching

Plan A was seemingly La'el Collins.
Plan C is probably a guy like Daryl Williams
Plan D would include players like Riley Reiff, Billy Turner and Germain Ifedi https://t.co/iouUkqgTi2

Karras is a legit starter. Belichick even wanted him back. No need to make things up because you’re upset.

All these reports come based on that Barry Jackson guy who is a reporter from the Miami-Herald. Call me sekptical.

Some things never change.

Close but no cigar, it appears.

Still a chance, but he was here almost 2 days.

Go get Tretter.

The board is funny. When it looked like we were getting Collins, he was great.

Now that it's uncertain, they see him as full of red flags and justifiably released by the Cowboys.
