Football Washington to release (or trade?) Landon Collins

Dante84 · 03-10-2022, 10:07 AM

Sources: The Washington #Commanders are expected to release star defender Landon Collins after the two sides did not agree on a restructured contract. Collins will now hit free agency to cash in again.

This would be an excellent Sorenson replacement

Will he be Landon here maybe?

Hasn't really been a good player since 2017. That's a loooooong ways in the rearview in the NFL.

I mean he might be worth $3 million as a rotational safety in a heavy nickel set and depth piece in the case of injury (as noted above, a Sorenson replacement) but I'm not sure I'm too eager to allocate that kind of money to that role.

I'd probably be good at $2.5 million and would ultimately accept $3 million, but he's not worth more than that, IMO. He's just not a starting caliber safety at this stage of his career.

28 years old with an achilles injury in his recent past? No thanks, unless he's dirt cheap.

Overrated.

Dante84 · 03-10-2022, 10:25 AM

I'd be interested in a low-dollar deal as a box safety or some sort of hybrid-LB role. His best safety days are well behind him.

He is.

But that doesn't mean he couldn't help at the right price.

He's not the All Pro guy who appeared to be in 2016. Or the Pro Bowl guy he was in 2017. Or even the adequate starter he was in 2018.

But he's an NFL player still. So depending on the cost, I'd listen. Spags got some good run out of him and that's a worthwhile consideration.

I bet YOU would be a good Sorenson replacement

Considering his recent play, current pay, and the depth of the S market in FA, I can't see them finding a willing trade partner. That would require someone wanting to pick up whatever big money he has left on that huge deal.

I wouldn't mind exploring him as a big nickel/Sorenson replacement if cheap, though, like a lot of folks.

A trade is pretty much nonexistent at this point. His contract is huge.

He’s basically a LB now. Too much $ for what he brings…

Yup his pay days are over. He’ll get cut and I’d like to get him on a fair deal. He’s only 28 and is still good.

Need to get good value players to fill this defense.
