Cowboys sign ex-LSU lineman La'el Collins (Yahoo Sports)

Collins is an undrafted free agent because NFL teams decided against selecting the former All-Southeastern Conference offensive tackle from LSU in last week's draft. Collins was widely projected as a first-round choice. While he has not been named as a suspect or even a person of interest in any crime, teams became apprehensive about drafting him when Baton Rouge Police said they wanted to interview Collins about the shooting death of a pregnant woman he knew.

The Dallas Cowboys have signed former LSU offensive tackle La'el Collins, who had been a projected first-round pick in last week's NFL draft until his name came up in a police investigation. Collins, a 2014 All-Southeastern Conference lineman, has never been named a suspect or person of interest in the shooting death of 29-year-old Brittney Mills. Police acknowledged days before the draft that they wanted to talk to Collins because he knew Mills. After he went undrafted, Collins met with police, who say he has answered all of their questions.
