Gettleman called out by Landon Collins

[Paa Langfart]

Quote

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

Uh-oh... You're really going to get the Gettlewarriors here wound up.

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

It hurts so bad he had to do an ego piece to let us all know where it hurts.

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.

Well you damn sure can’t be acting like bill and not winning, and that’s what DG is/has been doing
