Former LSU offensive tackle and Baton Rouge native La'el Collins has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys reportedly worth $16 million with a $4 million signing bonus. Per ESPN:
quote:
Collins was set to be a restricted free agent after this season, but he is now signed through 2019. He is guaranteed $9.5 million at signing and will also receive a $4 million signing bonus, a source said.

Collins' base salary will increase each year, from $1 million in 2017 to $4.5 million in 2018 and $6.5 million in 2019. If he plays in 85 percent of snaps in 2017 and 2018, his 2019 base salary will jump to $8.5 million.

Kudos to Jerry Jones. Said he would take care of him after his contract came due, and he did just that. This is the best Collins could have done after the unfortunate draft situation.

Deserves every dollar he gets! It's so deflating how small these contracts are compared to the NBA ones the past month, for players that don't even have half the talent as Lael

Kudos to La'el. Deserves every penny. I'm actually starting to look at the Cowboys in a more positive light. They have a lot of good young talent.

The reason Collins isn't a Saint is because he chose to be a Cowboy. NFL would not let him be drafted.

Excellent news for him! It looked like his career was going to come crashing down before it ever got started. I don't like Jerry Jones much, but I have to commend him for taking a chance on Collins.

As i recall jones didnt take a chance on him. It was after draft was over and many teams made invites and he chose cowboys (?)

He chose the Cowboys because of Jerry Jones and moreso because of how Jerry Jones involved Collins' mother.

Why he doesn't have a fleur de lis on his helmet is beyond me.

People wonder why the Saints have bad drafts and are perennially 7-9. For the most part they suck at talent evaluation and doing their due diligence. They are always interested in O-linemen, but didn't even take a look at him, despite being 50 minutes down the road. Could have had a pro bowler for peanuts. But the couldn't be bothered bro even make a fricking phone call.
