Dallas Cowboys right tackle La’el Collins has been with only one franchise since entering the league in 2015, and he would like to keep it that way.

Collins recently discussed the fact that he is entering the final year of his contract and told reporters that he hopes he will get one from the Cowboys. And not only that, but that he would also like to play out his NFL career with the franchise.

“I would love to stay in Dallas my entire career,”- said Collins according to The Advocate’s Herbie Teope. “I love the Cowboys, I love Mr. (Jerry) Jones; I love the Jones family. I love everything about the whole organization and what they’ve done for me as a person and as a player.”

“For me, it’s just all about going out there and taking it one day at a time, and proving myself, proving my worth, showing them that I want to be there by what I do and now what I say.” – he added.

La’el Collins joined the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent but surprisingly got an opportunity to play a significant role in his rookie season. After his 2016 season was cut short due to a torn ligament, Collins bounced back and has started every Cowboys game in the past two years.
