Gettleman called out by Landon Collins

The safety, who signed with the Washington Redskins as an unrestricted free agent this offseason, has no love lost for New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman. Collins was the team's second-round pick in 2015, and Gettleman demonstrated little interest in re-signing him when he hit the market. 

 

It wasn't so much Gettleman and the Giants' lack of pursuit that has Collins ticked off and anticipating the Redskins' Week 4 matchup against his former team. Rather, it's how Gettleman handled his exit. 

“No dignity at all,” Collins told NJ Advance Media. “I didn’t know what was going on. He’s a liar. He lied to everybody. So that’s a man I do not trust. I would hope nobody else would, too.”

Collins expressed a desire to spend his entire career with the Giants, but he figured his time in New York was up amid the flurry of trades Gettleman made on the defensive side of the ball last season. The GM never picked up the phone and now Collins has a six-year, $84 million deal with Washington.  

"It sat with me bad," Collins told NJ Advance Media. "Just talk to somebody. Let us know something. If you’re going to trade me, trade me. If you’re going to let me go, let me go. Whatever. Don’t have a decision out of blue like that, for me to do this much for that organization — before he got there.

 

 

Guy is definitely building a league wide reputation for being an asshole.  Glad he is out of Carolina.

And people told me this is how you do business, no it’s not, Bill in NE cuts and moves players all the time but you don’t hear players coming out constantly throwing him under the bus, there’s a disconnect somewhere and I told people that was my main issue with him as a gm, you can’t run a business like that

Dude could definitely work on his people skills. 

But I agree with Gettleman in not re-signing him. Collins is a one trick in the box safety who can't cover and not worth anywhere near that ridiculous contract the Redskins gave him. He is Eric Reid with one exceptional year on his resume and 3 mediocre ones. 

Case in point, The Eagles and Cowboys have curb stomped their secondary in consecutive weeks. If Daniel Jones eats their lunch too, Gettleman will end up looking like a damn genius.

The issue Collins had wasn't with being allowed to walk. Collins says so in the article

Bill also wins championships. That's the difference.

Gettleman may be an arse but sometimes you don't get to know if the organization wants to keep you or trade you. Sometimes the organization isn't sure.

If that is what Collins refers to as a lie he may need to get a helmet.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
