Jamie Collins Sr. Fantasy

The Detroit Lions agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with linebacker Jamie Collins on Monday, according to a source. The deal includes $18 million in guarantees and will reunite him with head coach Matt Patricia, who was his defensive coordinator with the Patriots. The 30-year-old linebacker had a career-high seven sacks in 2019 and also recorded 81 tackles (58 solo), three interceptions (one for a touchdown), seven passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 16 games (15 starts). He should bring a productive and veteran presence to Detroit's defense and should be familiar in Patricia's system. He'll have streaming appeal in IDP leagues.

The Cleveland Browns released starting linebacker Jamie Collins on Wednesday. Collins, who the team acquired from the New England Patriots in 2016, struggled with injuries during his tenure in Cleveland, which affected his play. Collins was due to make $10.5 million in 2019, which certainly played into the team's decision to part ways with him. General manager John Dorsey told reporters, We want to thank Jamie for his contributions to the Cleveland Browns. These types of decisions are never easy. Jamie is a respected veteran player in this league and we wish him the best as he continues his career. Collins will certainly be picked up by another team in the coming days, although he will have to settle for a pay cut.

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jamie Collins could be on the trade block and the New England Patriots, who initially traded Collins to the Browns, have discussed bringing him back. The Pats could really use some help around Dont'a Hightower in the middle of their defense, and Collins would be a big upgrade. The 29-year-old has 55 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble and an interception for the Browns so far this season.
