Collins was considered the top safety available in free agency.
Former New York Giants safety Landon Collins has reached a deal to join the Redskins.
Collins was likely Washington’s top priority in free agency. The Redskins went into the offseason with no clear answers at the position after releasing D.J. Swearinger last December and letting midseason acquisition Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix test the free agent market. Montae Nicholson, who started seven games last year before being replaced by Clinton-Dix, is on the NFL’s reserve/NFI list after being arrested for assault and battery following a December fight.
Collins also was a team captain in New York and can assume a leadership role for the Redskins, who will need a strong voice in the back of the defense. He played at Alabama, as has several other key members of the team’s defense.
