The safety market is going to be deep when 2019 NFL free agency opens next Wednesday. The market will include Earl Thomas, Tyrann Mathieu, Lamarcus Joyner, HaHa Clinton-Dix, Adrian Amos, and Kenny Vaccaro, and we can add another name to the list.
The New York Giants have informed Landon Collins they will not use their franchise tag on him, per NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport. Collins tweeted a farewell on Tuesday. A safety would earn $11,150,000 under the franchise tag, and the Giants think his issues as a pass defender are not worth the big bucks that would come with the tag, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini.
