Former LSU lineman La'el Collins not father of Brenton Mills, has meeting with Cowboys planned

Former LSU offensive lineman La’el Collins is not the father of shooting victim Brittney Mills’ son, Baton Rouge police said Wednesday, as the undrafted free agent planned to meet with another NFL team.

Collins’ paternity test produced negative results, police confirmed — another twist in a weeklong saga regarding Collins and the death of Mills and her son, Brenton.

The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Collins, a former Redemptorist star, was a sure-fire first-round NFL draft pick before news broke last Tuesday that Baton Rouge police wished to speak with him about Mills, who was pregnant when she was fatally shot on April 24.

Collins, who police said had an association with Mills, met with Baton Rouge homicide detectives Monday morning, a meeting that produced no change in his status: He’s not a suspect, police have said from the start.

The Dallas Cowboys have signed La’el Collins, who had been a projected first-round pick in last week’s NFL draft until his name came up in a police investigation.

The deal is for three years and is fully guaranteed, a source said.

Some tweets from Rainer Sabin (@RainerSabinDMN) from the news conference on Thursday.

– Hard not to be impressed by La’el Collins. He has won this news conference.
