The Dallas Cowboys have signed La'el Collins to a three-year deal worth $1.65 million.

The deal is fully guaranteed.

Collins was one of the top offensive tackles in the draft, but went undrafted following the murder of his ex-girlfriend.

The Cowboys began the draft with the 27th overall pick and now have three first round talents in Byron Jones, Randy Gregory and Collins.

Dallas considered drafting an offensive lineman in the first round to play guard and then take over for Doug Free in a year or two, which will be the role of Collins.
