Not for Collins. Maybe for Amos.

He had 100 tackles for them last year. He might actually be able to still play.

Collins is probably considered cream of the crop. 25 years old, 1 team all pro, 3 time pro bowler, good tackler, team captain, great character. He will likely set the market. Depends on scheme fit also as well.

Rap seems to indicate the Colts are in on Landon Collins:

I hope so. I really want this guy. That also means we probably won't get him. I think KC making moves is because they want him as well. Plus Spags is his former DC.

Matt Bowen wrote an article on scheme fits for free agents and picked the Colts for Collins. That's an opinion I really trust.

If you're looking at decisions that have worked for him, try taking a look at that Nate Solder contract. There are also reports that Gettleman passed on a future 1st round pick offered last year for Collins. Simply letting him walk isn't justifiable.

I don't know what value Ballard will place on Collins. Maybe Ballard sees him as an $8-10MM/year player and won't overpay. Maybe the market is a little more suppressed and the Colts get him at a relative discount.

Look, I'm not going to pretend to know a whole lot about Gettleman other than what I read and referred to previously. I agree the Solder contract looks pretty aggressive and a typical high profile free agent signing, exactly the kind of thing I spoke about earlier and what I worry about if the Colts were to chase Landon Collins and sign him to a record-setting contract. Solder probably got the Giants fanbase excited at the time, but now they are not so thrilled about it.

As far as passing on a 1st rounder for Collins, I can't find a reference to that and it's plainly inconsistent with the theory that he devalues DBs - so I question whether it actually happened (I realize you said there were only "reports" of this, and did not definitively say that it happened either).

Source: The #Vikings are not exercising the option on starting S Andrew Sendejo, making him a free agent. Another talented safety in the mix before free agency.

Add another Safety to the list

Hopefully Ballard upgrades SS and overall depth at safety in free agency and saves the draft picks for other areas.
