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.

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
