Pat’s Perspectives: Clarifying a major misconception about loss of Landon Collins

Something has been gnawing at me now for quite a while, and it’s this opinion that the Giants got nothing in return for letting safety Landon Collins walk out the door.

While I get it that we live in an instant gratification society, there is also a school of thought that says, “Good things come to those who wait.”

In the case of Collins, the Giants, per Over the Cap, are projected to receive a compensatory pick to use in next year’s draft, one of their highest compensatory picks in recent memory.
