The Giants have already shown a willingness to be active in the trade market, shipping out Damon Harrison and Eli Apple for draft picks over the past week. New York has clearly thrown in the towel on 2018, and is focused on building draft capital for the future. It was reported earlier today that they were receiving “decent offers” for Odell Beckham, and now another good young player is apparently garnering offers.
The Giants have received multiple trade offers for safety Landon Collins, a source told Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. While Collins is still only 24, it’s apparently a very real possibility that the Giants decide to move him, and some league executives “believe they might be willing to move him if they receive a second-day pick (Rounds 2 and 3) in the 2019 NFL Draft”, according to Vacchiano.
Collins is in the final year of his rookie deal, and should be in line for a huge payday in free-agency. It was reported this summer that the team had concerns about how well Collins would fit their new defensive scheme, so it wouldn’t be shocking if they decide they don’t want to hand him a massive deal this offseason. If they’re going to let him walk anyway, it would make sense to trade him if they could get a good pick.
Collins, the 33rd pick of the 2015 draft, was a first-team All-Pro in 2016 and has made the Pro Bowl twice. Through 54 career games, Collins has 389 tackles, eight interceptions, and 32 passes defended.
If the Giants would take a Day 2 pick, the Steelers should be all over the phones making this happen.
That’s too bad. He’s a good player
If it costs a #3, chargers need this deal done YESTERDAY
Cincinnati, make that call.
Giants need as many picks as possible to rebuild this thing. If that means trading Collins, Jenkins, Beckham, Vernon, Shepard or whoever else I think they should consider.
He and Barkley are the only untouchables IMO
^^THIS
They cannot trade OBJ – the cap hit is too much to over come. It would hurt them more then help them.
If they trade Collins, I’m literally never watching a Giants game again
Does Collins fit the scheme though? He can’t cover. They are going to have to pay him a boat load since this is his final year. They can franchise him but that’s just putting things off. I would trade Collins, Jenkins, and Vernon. The more picks the better.
I wouldn’t be opposed to trading Shepard or Engram either. Shepard is entering his final rookie year deal in ‘19 and a Engram drops too many balls. This year and last year. I’d love to move Solder but no one is taking that contract.
they don’t need to trade him at all, just get some more help on defense next year
Rams are looking for edge rushers and corners I was reading. How about we send them Vernon and Jenkins for some picks?
Are they going to throw in a Happy Meal and toy too? lol I’m with you we need to just focus on stock piling picks at this point — but Vernon’s got a big $ contract so not sure we’d really be able to get back.
