Over the past few weeks, the Dallas Cowboys have been trying to find ways to clear cap space.
During that time, several players popped up as potential trade candidates. Multiple reports suggested the team is ready to move on from star wide receiver Amari Cooper and his $20 million price tag.
However, Cooper isn’t the only star player that could be on the way out. According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cowboys gave offensive tackle La’el Collins permission to seek a trade.
“Dallas has given permission to starting RT La’el Collins to seek a trade, according to his new agent Peter Schaffer,” Schefter said. “Dallas needs cap room and Collins was scheduled to make $15.25 million this season. Likely to be released if no trade.”

Collins joined the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent following the 2015 NFL draft. He immediately became an impact player for the Cowboys, starting 71 games for the team.
Unfortunately, the past two seasons haven’t been kind to Collins. He suffered a season-ending injury during the 2020 campaign and then received a five-game suspension in 2021.
Following the rough past two seasons, it seems like the Cowboys are ready to move on – via trade or release.
