The longer the Cowboys wait the better deal for them... FA is extremely weak at tackle. 

True, but it takes two to tango, and regardless of the agent relationships, I just don't see our FO wanting a guy with APPARENT low character in a position of authority on the team.  I think if they have two guys with nearly equal skills, they'd pay a premium for character, and Collins is questionable.

We'll see.

I was reading on ESPN that if they structure a trade so that it is effective after June 1 (or cut him after June 1) then the cap hit changes from 9mil before to 1mil after, so the Cowboys may do a deal quickly, but it likely won't be effective until after June 1.  

I am sure there are those that understand it better than me, but June 1 is a magical date for all trades/cuts/releases.  Same with Watson, cutting or trading him after June 1 saves the Texans over 16mil on the cap.
