The New York Giants are not expected to use the franchise tag on impending free agent safety Landon Collins, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Kimberly Jones.
This is a curious decision by the Giants. By not tagging Collins, who turned 25 in January, New York now risks losing one of their most talented players. Collins’ agent can begin negotiating with other teams as soon as next Monday, March 11.
Placing the tag on Collins wouldn’t have been so crazy.
