Does he suck? Or is he ok? 

He is still rehabbing a torn ACL from December.

 

Let's put it this way.  We've all seen the Bengals OL woes with starters, and definitely witnessed how bad the depth has been the last couple of years as well.  IF Collins was in any position to help them this year, he'd still be here.  Or, they are waiting until he's healthy to bring him back at a cheaper rate.  Or just creating cap space for either an extension or cap rollover for next year (Chase next year, maybe extensions for reader/Higgins)

If he's healthy enough to play, I wouldn't mind Miami taking a look. With Terron Armstead always dealing with injuries, having another decent OT would be nice.

If he was healthy enough to play, I don't think he would have been cut.

Well, it was rumored for awhile that the Bengals wanted to move on from him but him being on the PUP could've prevented an earlier release depending on contract language. Oftentimes when a player is waived from PUP it's because they're close to being able to pass a physical and essentially agree/ask to part ways with the team to get back out on the field quicker. Or they actually did pass a physical & decided they didnt want to cut anyone on their current active roster.

He's almost certainly not 100%, though, you're right. Then again, neither is Terron Armstead.

Can he play IOL?

He never surrendered a sack while playing at OG for the Cowboys. Honestly, it was probably where he was best suited to play at this level.

At this point, Nick Caserio is on a very warm seat because of the OL in Houston. Collins on a Caserio-special one year deal isn’t the worst idea ever; Collins at either G spot has to be an improvement.

Assuming he's healthy, he'd probably be leaps and bounds better than what you have
