Landon Collins moved to LB?

Could Landon Collins Solve WFT Issue At LB?

Instead of trying to play a mix of Kam Curl and Landon Collins, Washington could play them together

He's still young and not far removed from an all-pro year. I know he's overpaid, maybe a switch or pay cut would help the situation.
Although Rivera and co. didn't bring him in, i think it'd be a mistake to cut him without one more year to see how he can fit and contribute.

oh they will keep him but dont forget this guy hasnt recovered from his torn Achilles. that is still the number one career ending injury . i think he will be on the pup and maybe we get 1/2 a year from him

ideally i hope he agrees to a pay cut or defies injury and lives up to his contract

he wont take a pay cut . and redoing a contract just means more guranteed money we have to give up hence eventual dead cap space

its still cheaper to cut him next year though right? gotta see what he has left? I mean this is his career, its over if he can't stay in DC

I'm working on what an injury settlement would look like and do with respect to the cap. In the meantime, here are the particulars of his contract.

Collins’ contract makes it difficult for Washington to move on, even if the team wanted to in the offseason. Set to enter the third year of a six-year, $84 million deal signed in March 2019, Collins carries a base salary of $12.5 million in 2021 and has a cap figure of $17.2 million. Of that $12.5 million, $5 million is already guaranteed — and the entire base salary will be guaranteed if Collins can’t pass a physical by the fifth day of free agency in March.

If Washington released Collins without his salary becoming fully guaranteed, the team would still carry $18.8 million in dead money to get rid of him. If it does become guaranteed, that dead money figure jumps to $26.3 million.

According to Over The Cap, cutting Collins before June 1 would eat into Washington’s 2021 cap space. If the move is designated a post-June 1 release, that would free up space for next year but would dip into future budgets.
