The New York Giants have a situation at safety entering the 2019 offseason. First, they need to ensure — via the franchise tag or a long-term deal — that free-agent-to-be Landon Collins is a Giant next season. Then, they need to get him some help.
Curtis Riley, the worst-tackling safety in the NFL in 2018 per Pro Football Focus, simply can’t be patrolling the back end of the Giants’ defense again next season. Michael Thomas is a nice player, but not a full-time center fielder. Sean Chandler has a great back story and is a useful player, but he probably doesn’t have the necessary center fielder skills, either.
