HGELL YEAH

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Wow.

Just wow.

 

[MMC]

Some insane contracts being handed out early on

 

[John Price]

I thought Redskins were broke after Smith contract

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Washington

I don’t understand that franchise.

 

[sigma six]

That's a player I really liked, but holy shit that number jumps off the page.

Dan Snyder. Thats all that needs to be said.

Literally what is the issue here

It's not like Collins was a bust in NY. In fact the argument can be made that Gettleman never should have let him go in the first place.

 

[John Price]

I'm seeing on old.reddit.com that only 3 yrs / 45m is guaranteed. Therefore, if he fails he will be cut and if he plays through the contract it'll have been worth it for sure.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

I like Collins and everything, but for 14m a year, wow.

 

[Kel Varnson]

Pretty sure he grew up a skins fan too. Good move for him

 

[InjuredChoker]

15 M per year for a S that can't cover TEs.

 

[EpochLink]

Yikes.

I liked Collins with the Giants but I can understand why they cut loose..

 

[Reality Check]

Washington has been doing this ever since Snyder took over and they still haven't learned.

Remember when they back the truck up for Deion Sanders in 1999?
Played 1 season for them and then retired due to injury

to be fair deion was old

Landon is 25.

True, Landon can shore up that Redskins secondary.
My uncle is a Redskins fan, he's ecstatic about this move.

 

[John Price]

It's an okay move, and the numbers as usual are blown out of proportion now that we know that it is a 3 year 45m deal at least (and they can cut him IF he fails)

Not bad

I see the critiques that he doesn't play well in coverage but this guy a run stopper

Albert Haynesworth might have been even better

 

[Canes]

There's zero chance he plays out the length of this contract.

Excellent run support guy, but has very little mobility for his position. He'll be cut in 2-3 years.

Gettleman made a smart move not caving to the demands of a one-dimensional safety. Washington will be Washington.
