In a surprising turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys have decided to cut ties with La'el Collins just weeks after bringing him back into the fold.

This decision comes after Collins, who rejoined the team earlier this month, participated in all three preseason games but failed to secure a place on the offensive line.

Originally a first-round draft hopeful from LSU, Collins’ prospects took a hit during the 2015 draft due to unfounded rumors linking him to a homicide case. Despite the setback, he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Cowboys and spent six seasons (2015-2021) with the team. After a year with the Cincinnati Bengals, he returned to Dallas but couldn't reclaim his former glory. He even had a brief stint with the Buffalo Bills.

At 32 years old, this latest cut might signal the end of the line for Collins in the NFL. Fans are left wondering: what’s next for the talented yet troubled lineman?
