Landon Collins News
The Washington Commanders released defensive back Landon Collins and defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis on Wednesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter also reports that the team released offensive lineman Ereck Flowers. Collins and the Commanders were unable to agree on a restructured contract after he played out three years of a six-year, $84 million deal signed in 2019. His release will save the team $6.5 million with $9.6 million in dead money. Ioannidis was in the final year of a four-year contract, and his release will save Washington $6.88 million. He should be able to land another starting gig on the open market. The Commanders needed to free up more salary cap space after trading for quarterback Carson Wentz last week.
The Washington Commanders are expected to release star defensive back Landon Collins after the two sides couldn't agree on a restructured contract. Collins will hit free agency and should cash in once again after recording 81 tackles (51 solo), seven tackles for loss, two interceptions, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and three sacks in only 13 games played in 2021. The star safety signed a six-year, $84 million contract in 2019, and he was due a baseline salary of $11.5 million in 2022. The three-time Pro Bowler played in only seven games in 2020 due to an injury, and he disappointed with his play last year in coverage. But Collins is still only 28 years old and will surely find plenty of suitors on the open market looking for safety help.
Washington Commanders safety Landon Collins had a 110.6 passer rating allowed in coverage last season, which ranked 36th out of 48 safeties that were targeted at least 30 times, according to Pro Football Focus. Collins has the second-highest salary cap hit ($16.9 million) among NFL safeties, so he's a candidate to be cut or have his contract restructured this offseason. On top of his performance, the 28-year-old finished the season on Injured Reserve due to a foot injury. In 13 games played, Collins recorded 81 tackles (51 solo), seven tackles for loss, two interceptions, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and three sacks for Washington. He has a dead-cap number of $9.6 million if he's released.
