The New York Giants have informed Landon Collins that they will not use their franchise tag on him, making the star safety an unrestricted free agent next week, sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
Collins took to Twitter to react to the news.

Collins, 25, led the Giants in tackles (96) for the fourth consecutive year -- the first time in his career that he didn't top 100 in a season -- despite missing the final four games of the season with a torn labrum.
