S Landon Collins knows he won't be back?

Seems she is always leading the way on negative news.

They'd just let him walk

since they can franchise him.

Wow

Why are people at the facility?

YES she does.. which is why I dont pay any attention to her

Agreed, tagging him would count 11-12 million against the cap. If they can't trade him for anything, they are stuck with him

Ploys and opening gambits will abound.

seem to trust her to get their message out there.

What was the last claim she’s made similar to this that wasn’t true?

for a safety

Didn't she say OBJ was out of here before he signed the extension? I recall it was a big deal on ESPN.

Exactly. $12M for a guy having a down year followed by an injury.

No, I think that's what the Giants wanted.
It may have been a 3rd.

No, I think the Giants wanted a 2nd from them.

Are we sure this is negative news?

You don't put a young core player you want to keep on the trading block for a 2nd round pick.

He's a goner and that should've been clear at the deadline last year.

Tagging him is at least hold an option on a player in an attempt to trade him; to see how things go in free agency; to see if there is much interest in him or can you sign at a lower number.

Just cutting him, on February 20th, makes absolutely no sense.

for Russell Wilson. Do it.

Any chance this is what Odell was referring to in his tweet from earlier today?

What if there are no trade offers? Then they are stuck with him at 12 million.

why would they not have traded him for a 3rd at the deadline then? the best they can hope for is an end of the 3rd round comp pick next year, so if they weren't going to bring him back they should have traded him and got an earlier pick

Yup.

That would be a horrible trade for the Seahawks.

Collins had a season-ending injury. Wilson is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Did you hear something? Because this makes no sense.

Pretty sure it was a joke. They can’t even trade Collins without tagging him

OK, a joke. Has to be.

can't you rescind it whenever?

I'm happy to take the comp pick and let him walk. Doesn't make sense to take a $12M cap hit in today's NFL for a safety who isn't great at covering the pass.

Giants S Landon Collins' locker remains full of stuff, as of this hour, and he has not been informed of any decision on whether the team plans to use the "franchise tag" on him or not, according to a source. ... So nothing new and nothing to see here.

Yup, she is a hack, just like LaCanfora.

Josina Anderson is dog shit in a flaming paper bag.

I know she led the way when Collins and Apple were exchanging pleasantries during Ben's last year.

Josina Anderson is the absolute fucking worst.

I don’t see the Giants just letting him walk. He’s one of the best STrong Safeties in the league. Excellent tackler and good in the box safety. Yea his coverage skills need work, but he’s still a fantastic Strong Safety. If we have to fill that void, it would be just another hole in this roster!

“From another source: "Nothing new" on the Landon Collins front.

There's been no progress on a long-term deal and the "franchise tag" is a definite possibility. The Giants have until March 5 to use it.

Here's why it's the smart move for the Giants: bit.ly/2GOtIVK”

It's too early, but another team may outbid them

Stellar GM’ing by DG if this is how it plays out.

So long as it is unsigned. Collins puts ink to paper and it is guaranteed. Any tag needs to be rescinded in order to be considered for comp picks next year. Rob and I had discussed the possibilities in an earlier thread. And I feel the best course of action is the Transition Tag. Force Collins to determine his market value. It also forces Collins to prove that he is healthy as no offer sheet would be extended unless he can pass a physical for an interested team. We would have the right to match the offer. If we don't match, then we rescind the tag and wish Collins luck.

LOL

Indeed. Get her far away from this organization.
