New York Giants strategy pertaining to franchise tagging Landon Collins

The New York Giants have found themselves in a number of predicaments this offseason, one of which has to do with All-Pro safety Landon Collins.

The four-year rookie deal Collins signed when he was drafted in 2015 is expiring, and he’ll be looking for a long-term deal. He deserves it too, having been to the Pro Bowl each of the last three seasons. Yes, it’s a tough situation for the Giants’ front office, as Collins is about to be an expensive individual.

Big Blue has around $27 million in cap space and needs to reserve around $8-10 million for rookies and in-season emergencies.
