On Thursday, the Buffalo Bills added a former long-time starter on the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. The Bills have made a few changes to their offensive line before free agency as the team shed cap space before free agency in March.
The Buffalo Bills lost a few key players for 2024
Position: WR. Years: 2020-23
Achievements: Has had the greatest four-year run at the position in Bills history, and it really isn’t close. … Has been a Pro Bowler all four years, was a first-team All-Pro in 2020 and second-teamer in 2022. … On a team that had only one 100-catch season (Eric Moulds), he has done it all four years he’s been here, including a team-record 127 in 2020. … He’s already fourth in team history in catches (445), yards (5,372), and TDs (37) and is third in 100-yard games (21). … His 11 TDs in 2022 is tied for the single-season team record with Bill Brooks.
The Bills appear to be in a reloading year after losing several veteran star players and trading away Stefon Diggs. However, general manager Brandon Beane expects the Bills to compete for the 2024 season. The offensive lineman they added Thursday should help with that.

According to Ari Merov with the 33rd Team, the Bills signed offensive tackle La’El Collins to a one-year deal.

Collins was a long-time starter in Dallas
The Cowboys signed Collins as an undrafted free agent following the 2015 NFL Draft. He stayed with the Cowboys through the 2021 season and returned to the practice squad in January of this year. He spent the bulk of the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Bengals.
At 30, Collins has made 86 starts in his career. He should give the Bills excellent depth as a swing tackle for the upcoming season.
