Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that even though the Giants listened to trade offers for S Landon Collins, New York is expected to use their franchise tag on him next if they can’t agree to an extension.
“I don’t think they let him out,” a source familiar with the Giants’ thinking tells Schefter.
Leading up to the trade deadline, the Giants had told teams they wanted to a second-round pick to move Collins and the Packers, 49ers and Chiefs all showed varying levels of interest in him.
Collins, 24, is a former second-round pick of the Giants back in 2015. He is entering the final year of his four-year, $6.12 million rookie contract that included $4.459 million guaranteed and stands to make a base salary of $1,269,621 for the 2018 season.
In 2018, Collins has appeared in seven games for the Giants and recorded 57 tackles, no interceptions and four pass defenses.
