After failing to agree to terms on a contract restructure, the Commanders are expected to part ways with safety Landon Collins, per the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Collins, 28, was set to account for a $16.2 million cap hit in 2022. The former All-Pro was entering the third year of a six-year, $84 million contract he signed as an unrestricted free agent in March 2019.
The cost-cutting move will save Washington around $6.6 million, giving the team some much-needed cap flexibility after it acquired Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (and his $28.3 million contract) on Wednesday. Prior to the Wentz deal, the Commanders had $33.
