La’el Collins close to extension with Cowboys
 

The Cowboys are working on getting a new deal done with running back Ezekiel Elliott, but that’s not the only deal they are working on heading into the regular season.

Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports that the team is close to coming to an agreement with right tackle La'el Collins on a long-term extension of his own. The team also extended linebacker Jaylon Smith this summer while talks with Elliott, quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper have gone on without bearing any fruit.

Collins was expected to be a high pick in the 2015 draft, but wound up going undrafted when it was announced that police in Louisiana wanted to speak to him about the murder of a woman he had been romantically involved with in the past. Collins was not a suspect in the crime and wound up signing with the Cowboys in May of that year.

Still crazy no one but the CowGirls signed him or even drafted him, not even the Saints.
