Redskins' Landon Collins Won't Say 'Giants': 'No Point in Saying Their Name'

After spending the first four years of his NFL career with the New York Giants, Washington safety Landon Collins has no interest in even acknowledging his former team by name.

During a recent interview on 106.7 The Fan, Collins referred to the Giants as "the other team I was on." When host Chris Lingebach asked him if he made that reference intentionally, the 25-year-old made his stance clear.

"It's no point," Collins said, per Lingebach. "It's no point in saying their name."

Taken 33rd overall in 2015, Collins quickly made a name in New York. He earned three Pro Bowl nods and one first-team All-Pro selection during his four years in the Big Apple.

Even though Collins established himself among football's best safeties, the Giants did not view the 25-year-old as part of the team's future. He revealed in May that New York "never made an offer" on a long-term deal.

That didn't sit well with the star, as he had hoped to spend his entire career in a Giants uniform.

"When I left the Giants, I was kind of heartbroken," Collins told NJ.com's Ryan Dunleavy. "I loved the Giants. When I started there, I wanted to finish there."

Ultimately, Collins had no choice but to look elsewhere when he hit free agency this offseason. He signed a six-year, $84 million deal with division rival Washington. Of course, staying in the NFC East will give him two shots at his former team per season.

As a result, he will not only attempt to help lead Washington to its first Super Bowl title since 1992, but he will also have the opportunity to make the Giants pay for not paying up.

"I've got a lot of motivation for the next six years," Collins said in May.
