He’s horrible in coverage now. His grade was way worse than Sorensens in coverage.
…not sure how he accomplished that, but he did. If all we want him to do is blitz and defend the run, he’s still very good in that role. |

If the Washington Redsk er I mean Commanders can't reach agreement on restructuring his contract. He won't be dirt cheap.

If he just flat didn't want to be there anymore, he's made $50 million in his NFL career. Just getting out of Dodge and potentially re-setting himself for one last contract in 2023 would be more attractive than languishing in Washington for $6 million. Especially if he can still go out and get $2-3 million elsewhere. Refusing to renegotiate an obviously out of market deal is really just a way for a player to force his way off the team.

He's trending the wrong direction, IMO.

I pass on Collins.
Man, we could use him, but he's going to demand a hefty contract that we shouldn't pay him even if we had the cap space for it. Which we don't. |

He might get a 2-year deal that gives him say an $8 million signing bonus and $2 million in base this year (and some make-believe figure that nobody cares about next year) so he carries a $6 million cap hit in 2022 but gets $10 million in cash and hits the market in 2023 off hopefully a better platform season - but I'm betting that's at the absolute high side of the range. I wouldn't be surprised to be a similar structure but at a $7 million signing bonus with a 2022 base salary of $1 million so he's got a cap hit below $5 million, sees 8 and goes to the market next year.

He’s an amazing blitzed and run defender. I agree that if he comes in at that range, I’d be a buyer….just like Dan…NEVER have him in coverage, especially deep. |

You can have him in underneath coverage as a 3rd safety on the field - again, where Sorensen was valuable.
You just can't have the guy out there in single high. I think there may be some belief here that people are advocating for Collins as a pure SS w/ Thornhill as a FS - I'm not. I don't believe in the distinction anymore. Both of your safeties need to be interchangeable in that they're both capable of covering and willing (if not exceptional) tacklers. I simply put very little value in SSs anymore. Where that kind of player IS valuable is in heavy nickel formations on 1st and 2nd downs. In a 4-2-5 sort of alignment, Landon Collins could still be very valuable and very useful to this team.

He gave up over 70% completions and gave up 8tds…but that was covering medium to deep zones and that’s not his effective area. If we can limit his coverage responsibilities to TEs and backs, he can do that. He’s not a slot covering safety like Tyrann excelled at prior to this year. If Spags thinks he can utilize him in Sorensens old role, it’s a definite upgrade in that specified role. I think Spags coached him in Nay in his best years, too. |

Spags was the NY DC from 2015-2017…in those years, Collins made 2 pro bowls and was first team all pro in 2016.
So, Spags knows how to use him if we sign him. |

That was also 5-7 years ago. It’s not to say he couldn’t be used correctly but he was younger and pre-injury at that point.

If "struggles in coverage" is said for a secondary player, I am out as far as you can get on said player.

He's about the same size/build as Nakobe Dean.
