Free agent S Landon Collins tells me he is signing with the #Giants and is heading to London now to be around his new team, per him.
Landon Collins to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
Landon Collins to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
Landon Collins, now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
Landon Collins, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of the truncheon thing
Didn't he have a pick six in the '16 London game vs. LAR? Here's hoping for an encore, Haha.
Yea! It was a killer return too. Off the hands of Tavon Austin who ironically was also mentioned by one of the beats as a potential NYG signing this week lol
great DG culture purge (Collins and OBJ) brought back
Was Collins part of DG's culture purge? I always thought he wasn't resigned because DG didn't want to tie-up that much of the salary cap on an often injured SS. The Skins gave him a six year $84m contract, with $32m guaranteed over the first couple years.
Plus, OBJ was no victim, he brought that on himself.
I am so glad for the return of this powerful defensive player, and I know Wink is gonna love having him on the squad!
I love when an important former Giants player returns to the team, and Landon Collins just made the team better!

Yeah I'm not sure about the culture thing - I recall him being a team leader who played through injuries, even when we sucked. Who knows.
Deciding not to give Landon a deal like Washington did was 100% the right call by DG. As was discussed ad nauseum at the time, DG probably missed a chance to trade him.
But there was something about how it went down that pissed Landon off something awful. He was still spitting bile at Gettleman and the Giants a year later

Onward!
DG also ticked off Steve Smith and a meddlesome Panthers owner. I absolutely take it as a sign of good GM'ing if players and a meddlesome owner are pissed at you.
Hell not surprising Schoen's best move so far was hiring Daboll over who the Mara's were gumming up the works and pushing.
Tony Jefferson or Pinnock enough to fill in for the injured Julian Love.
I doubt that will happen. We have some injuries and are thin at LB. Giants are pulling in players that they can bring up to speed quickly to fill depth and be situational for Wink. Likely a fit since he was always a good tackler and they can use him as a LB/Safety hybrid in Wink's scheme for nickel and dime defensive formations.
Anyway, I'm on board given the circumstances and assumption that he's going to play a lot of LB. I trust Wink to use him in a way that helps the defense.

Welcome back, Lando.
If he is going to be playing LB and exclusively close to the LOS then I really like this move. If he is going to be used as a deep safety at times then I feel much differently.

Exactly, if he's in coverage up the seams, it's not going to be good.

No reason to feel any different.
Will be cool to watch him and McKinney interact

There can't be very many.
I know he's thinking of that broken-field pick 6 the last time he was there.

Barkley, Shep, and Davis Webb.
Lando wasn't part of some Culture Purge, it was just foolishness to pay a box safety stoopid Dan Snyder money.

I really like this move, and I think they'll use Collins as a wildcard/rover type defensive player.
Maybe even some DE!!!!! I think BALT did that with one of their secondary guys lol

I hope he gets in Sunday...I would like to see what he can provide.
Solid signing.

Why? Do you honestly think Collins is playing this Sunday?
Lol what? Collins ain't going to be ready to play in 3 days.
Welcome back, Lando.

That’s pretty shocking. Thought he was at least 30.
