The one-two punch has been delivered, and the figurative jaw of Giants’ fans has been badly bruised – first by the team’s decision not to try and keep former All-Pro safety Landon Collins and then Monday’s news that the 25-year-old, onetime heartbeat of Big Blue’s defense will now wear burgundy and gold and line up against the Giants twice a year.
Where Giants general manager Dave Gettleman saw little value in paying big for Collins, the Redskins wasted no time in making spending lavishly on him and making Collins a centerpiece for the Giants’ NFC East rivals.
