Much of the purge makes sense, because Reese, in his latter years, had a terrible track record. Like anything else, there are exceptions. Last week, New York Giants fans were bothered by the fact that safety Landon Collins would not be getting the franchise tag placed on him.
Effectively, his career with Big Blue was over. Keep in mind that Collins represented one of Reese’s better personnel decisions over the final five seasons that he presided as GM.
True, it seems like there exists a mentality to remove any remnants of the Reese years from the roster of the New York Giants.
