Cowboys Sign Third-Round DT Maliek Collins, Officially Lock up 2016 Draft Class

The Dallas Cowboys have officially signed third-round DT Maliek Collins to a four-year contract, according to Todd Archer.

The Cowboys have officially signed their entire 2016 draft class following this move.

Collins, unfortunately, suffered a broken foot a few months ago and is expected to miss 10-12 weeks. However, Collins is expected to be ready for training camp.

Collins, 21, was selected with the No. 67 overall pick by the Cowboys over a month ago. The Cowboys had to bolster their defensive line depth in the draft, and Collins gives them an intriguing prospect to develop in the coming years. However, weโ€™ll have to see how much this injury sets him back in his rookie season.

According to OverTheCap.com, Collins receives a four-year contract worth $3,221,152 to go along with a signing bonus of $881,152.

During his three-year college career at Nebraska, Collins recorded 86 tackles, 21.5 tackles for a loss, eight sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense.
