The question isn’t whether or not he’s a verygood player, the question is what else can you get and what price? It is far more likely that Collins would be a more cost-effective option and healthy option.

Also Collins ain't coming for cheap (cheaper maybe, but not cheap) he's looking for that big money too otherwise the Giants probably would have resigned him (assuming they use a SS in their new system, which I don't follow).
In Pettine's preferred high risk see coverage system, it would be really nice to have a talented FS (not nessary saying Thomas, as they're could be others including in the draft)
On twitter yesterday haha Clinton Dix told Landon Collins "you will love that green and gold brudda"

He probably knows GB isn't about to give him that big deal, so he might want Collins to go there, so his market is still hot.... where if Collins goes to one of his bigger options, they might be done with the Safety market and cool his options down.
Though I think they both went to Bama, so maybe it's friendly or both... and good PR.
