The NFL franchise tag window opened on Tuesday, and while nobody has formally announced their use of the franchise tag, there are several teams expected to use it. One such decision belongs to the New York Giants.
Safety Landon Collins finished up his rookie contract this past season, and could head into free agency as one of the top defensive backs on the market. The Giants do not have another significant option for the franchise tag, and have the cap space to handle the $12,037,000 franchise tender that comes with the safety position.
