The New York Giants safety was notified March 5th that he would not be franchised tagged and thus making him a free agent. Now that move was surprising to mostly everybody in and around the league. In my opinion it was dumb move from the Giants. They are letting go a 3x Pro Bowl and 1x All Pro safety. Giants also had a first round draft pick in a trade with Collins in it and they didn’t take it. Now that he’s a free agent, some teams are needing a new safety. The teams that make the most sense for Landon would be the Colts, Chiefs and Redskins.
The Colts have around $100 million in cap space right now. That would cover the cost of Collins and others. Adding Collins to that defense would become on another level. I believe the Colts would have a shot a deep post season run if they add Collins. The Colts seem like the best fit at the moment. Chiefs don’t have a lot of space when you talk about cap space. They could make it work though by trading or cutting some of their pass rushers. Pair Landon Collins with Eric Berry and you have an unstoppable safety combo. Now the Redskins could really use Landon Collins. They cut D.J. Swearinger and Ha Ha Clinton Dix has not played up to what they expected him too. Their cap space isn’t the worst and they really need help at that position. Unless the Colts make a ridiculous offer for Collins, the Redskins have a good chance of getting him.
