Veteran NFL offensive lineman La’el Collins highlighted a list of five players who worked out for the Buffalo Bills on Friday.
The others were:
- LB Oshane Ximines
- DE Eric Banks
- DE Terrell Lewis
- DE Mathieu Betts
Collins is the most well known of the bunch having previously been considered one of the NFL’s best offensive linemen. The 30-year-old has not played since the end of the 2022 season while he was with the Cincinnati Bengals.
He signed a five-year, $50 million deal with the Bengals but has not played since tearing his ACL and MCL last year.
Pro Football Focus only graded Collins a 57.9 overall in 15 games with the Bengals prior to injury. However, in previously years with the Dallas Cowboys his marks include an 82.0 (2021), 86.4 (2019) and 72.5 (2018).
Collins ended up not signing with the Bills but he’s a name to keep in mind for down the road. Germain Ifedi, released by Buffalo on Thursday, eventually ended up re-signing to the team’s practice squad.
All workouts were reported via the NFL’s transactions wire.
