Analysis: If parting ways with a defensive playmaker like Landon Collins seems silly to you, you are not alone
Landon Collins started every game his first two seasons and 59 games during his four-year tenure with the New York Giants, and was selected to the Pro Bowl three times from 2016 to 2018 and named an all-pro in 2016.

He led the Giants in tackles in each of his four seasons and had 23 stops against the run in 2018, giving him the highest stop percentage at the position.
Collins missed the final four games in 2018 with a partially torn labrum in his shoulder. Perhaps that’s one reason Collins slipped from the second-best safety in 2016 to the seventh-best in 2017 and then again to the 22nd best in 2018, according to the game charters at Pro Football Focus.No matter what the reason, this has to be a defining moment for Gettleman.
