On Monday, ESPN senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler reported that the New York Giants were hosting Landon Collins for a visit. Collins last played for the Washington Commanders in 2021.
The former Alabama safety spent three seasons in Tuscaloosa. He recorded 184 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and five interceptions. Collins was a Consensus All-American in 2014. He was drafted by the Giants in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
He began his career with the Giants and was a three-time Pro-bowler with the organization. After he became a free agent, he signed with the Commanders in 2019.
Collins tallied 239 tackles, six sacks, and three interceptions in his time in Washington, D.C. After an impressive stint with the team, he became a free agent following the season.
Now, he is looking to make a return to the league. The Giants have not officially signed Collins but could likely use some depth at the safety position. It will be interesting to see if anything comes from this news.
Reunion in the works? Free agent safety Landon Collins is visiting the New York #Giants on Monday, per sources, returning to the place where he made three Pro Bowls and an All-Pro team. Collins would give N.Y.’s defense a hybrid linebacker/safety option if they reach agreement
