Reduce the salaries of Houston and Berry, whether it be through restructure or outright cut.
Trade Ford if there's a #1 on the table. If not, keep him for WDE.
Sign one of Amos, Mathieu, or Thomas for S.
Sign veteran talent for the DL. Guys like McCoy and Griffen if the Vikings cut him.
Draft.

Agreed.
Collins is our huckleberry

Depends on what happens in that spot and with that money allocation.

There are some good safeties; there's even a couple of great ones.

But I would say I honestly think, as of this day in time, Landon Collins is the best Safety in football. I say that in February, as Earl Thomas is about to turn 30 with a cast on his broken leg and Eric Berry hasn't played a meaningful snap in two years.

There are few guys that are difference makers; Collins is #1 on the healthy list of guys at safety that are. And he's 25.

This team would be in GREAT shape with the defense going forward with Trey Flowers at RDE and Landon Collins at S. he can play SS, he can play single high, he's a playmaker and gives you a ton of flexibility.

I mean, you want a top ten defense? That's a HELL OF A START.

Trey Flowers is the premier Edge talent this year that's actually going to get to free agency. He's gotten 21 sacks in his career.

At least that's what my guy said. And he usually knows

I heard those rumors...if that's true I would absolutely do that although i still don't see why the Giants would.

Trey Flowers and Landon Collins; both 25, would be studs for this team for a long time.

Well I actually have a "guy". And he would know if anyone would.

Don't know what you all see in Collins to make him THAT special.

Yes. Seriously. PFF isn't the Bible by any means but they have him as the 39th ranked S.

I’m operating under the assumption that Houston is gone. So to not keep Ford, that leaves them needing to replace two stud players at a premium position in the matter of one offseason with no proven replacements on the roster.

I just think that’s asking an awful lot of any team. And yeah they could sign Flowers or whoever, but I’m not big on tying up a bunch of long term cash to these players. That’s the benefit of Houston or Ford. Neither will be here beyond 2019, so that money is going to open up right on cue as other massive extensions occur.
