Offensive tackle La’el Collins is available on the free agent market after being cut by the Bengals earlier this week.
The Patriots have shown interest in Collins, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive. The Patriots are doing their “due diligence” on the talented tackle who is recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered in a game against the Patriots at the end of last year.
One player who wouldn’t mind if the Patriots added Collins is running back Ezekiel Elliott. Collins blocked for Elliott for half a decade when the pair were in Dallas.
