Report: La'el Collins meeting with Bills, Dolphins; 'almost every' NFL team interested
Former LSU offensive tackle La'el Collins has received interest from almost every NFL team and will meet with the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins on Monday and Tuesday, according to Ross Dellenger of The Advocate.
Collins reportedly met with Bills head coach Rex Ryan at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana restaurant on Monday, in what ESPN's Adam Schefter described as an "unsanctioned meeting."
He is expected to talk with the Dolphins at some point on Tuesday. No other visits are being reported at this time.

It's no surprise that Collins would become a priority free agent for every NFL team once cleared of any wrongdoing in a murder investigation. Collins met with police Monday and is not considered a suspect in the case.
Collins will be locked into a three-year rookie deal once he signs and teams are capped in the amount they are allowed to spend on undrafted free agent rookies.
