Bengals Beat Out Other Teams That Made Significant Offers in La'el Collins Sweepstakes

The 28-year-old is Joe Burrow's newest offensive lineman.

CINCINNATI — La'el Collins signed a three-year contract with the Bengals on Sunday, but the move was much easier said than done. 

Multiple teams pushed hard for the 28-year-old right tackle, including the Patriots according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 

New England made him a "competitive offer." Carolina and Denver pushed to sign him too. 

#Broncos, too. They were heavily involved RT @JFowlerESPN: #Patriots made a competitive offer for La’el Collins and the #Panthers were in the thick of it, too, I’m told. But he’s headed to Cincinnati, per @AdamSchefter. Bengals had inside track and held onto it.

Ultimately, Collins decided to sign with the Bengals and block for Joe Burrow. It's a huge get for a Cincinnati team that struggled to protect their quarterback for much of the past two seasons.
