Giants safety Landon Collins cleaned out his locker at the team facility on Wednesday and said his goodbyes to teammates, coaches, and trainers, Josina Anderson of ESPN.com hears (on Twitter). From what sources tell her, it doesn’t seem like Collins expects to be a Giant for much longer.
Meanwhile, Collins’ locker appears to be full, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY (Twitter link), and sources tell him Collins has not been informed of any decision on whether the team plans to franchise tag him. However, Collins personally took to Twitter and seemed to confirm Anderson’s report.
“The stuff in that locker that I have left I do not need 💯,” Collins wrote.
Reading between the lines, it sounds as though Collins is not envisioning a future with the Giants. Still, the ball is really in the Giants’ court. The Giants can keep the safety away from the open market with the franchise tag and attempt to negotiate a long-term deal with him between now and the summer deadline. If no long-term deal is reached and Collins is unwilling to play out the season on the one-year tender, his only real recourse will be to threaten a holdout.
Collins’ 2018 season was cut short by injury and he wound up missing one-quarter of the regular season. All in all, he finished out with 96 tackles, four passes defensed, and a forced fumble.
Didn’t everybody clear their locker out a couple months ago?
I’m sure some things remain if they go to the facility to workout etc.
Cowboys backup option?
Cardinals gonna keep signing the cuts lmao
Maybe but that has nothing to do with this article.. he’s a free agent he can’t be cut
Since Russ Wilson is East-bound, deal Landon, their first, and maybe a 4th for him. Wilson is infinitely better than anything NYG will be able to draft at that slot.
Seattle is now without Earl Thomas, and needs secondary help.
