Landon Collins might have performed his closing snap in a New York Giants uniform and this is a surprising development specified every thing we know to this place.

In accordance to ESPN’s Josina Anderson, “Collins cleaned out his locker currently at the workforce facility and reported his goodbyes to teammates, coaches and trainers. It does not appear like Collins expects to be a Giant for a great deal for a longer period, per sources,” Anderson Tweeted.

This news comes out of nowhere as the expectation was very clear the Giants would re-indicator their 3-time Pro Bowl security. When the Giants resolved not to trade Collins prior to the trade deadline for the duration of the 2018 common season, the expectation was that the 25-12 months-aged would be a franchise cornerstone.

We predicted the Giants to use the nonexclusive franchise tag (which is most commonly used) on Collins and that means they would have to have paid out him no fewer than the regular of the leading five salaries at the player’s position, or 120 percent of the player’s previous wage, whichever is larger. We now have a a great deal superior notion of how a great deal that would have price tag them. In accordance to CBS Sports activities NFL contract specialist Joel Corry, the nonexclusive franchise tag fee at the security position for 2019 is projected to be $11.256 million. Thus, Collins would be provided to indicator a franchise tag that would spend him a thoroughly guaranteed wage of $11.287 million — from the 2019 wage cap — for the duration of the 2019 season.

In accordance to Corry’s projections, the special franchise tag number for the security position will be fewer than it was for the duration of the 2018 season when franchise-tagged safeties signed a one-12 months, $11.287 million deal.

Previously this offseason, Collins built it very clear he required to stay with the Giants.

“My hope is to be in this article. Honestly,” Collins reported previously this offseason, by using NJ.com. “I was drafted in this article. I want to finish my occupation in this article. It is a hope and a desire of mine. Hopefully, we make it a fact.”

Spotrac has projected what it will price tag teams to indicator Collins on the open up free agent marketplace for those people intrigued.



It is really very tricky to imagine a state of affairs the place it is in the Giants curiosity to allow the 25-12 months-aged previous First-Crew All-Pro arrive at the open up marketplace the place he is free to indicator in other places. Nonetheless, this seems to be the route the Giants have selected. Nothing at all is official just still. Remain tuned for additional particulars.
