Landon Collins Available

[Schneed10]

I think Collins would be a good get for us. I don't want to give up on Nicholson, he made a lot of bonehead plays last year and I wouldn't just hand him the starting FS job. But he's got a lot of range.

Collins is similar to DJ Swearinger, but much better at it. His aggression fits well with the defensive line being stout - our defensive line will help give him the free run he needs to take the angles.

He'll be costly though - I don't know if I'd be comfortable with this signing unless I see Scherff extended to reduce his 2019 cap charge. Still wondering why that's taking so long.

Plus he's not a moron that will air his dirty laundry to the media.

I was expecting (hoping) a new deal for Scherff prior to free agency. No idea what's going on there, they need to get it done.
