If it were one of the two, would you sign Thomas or Collins?

Setting aside the cap, Collins.

Aren't they supposed to cost similarly?

I think Collins will land a bigger deal. He is 5 years younger and hasn't been injured nearly as often.

Brought him back instead of letting him go to FA.

Not what I would have done.

So, they will get nothing for Foles. Noice.

I wound't say nothing. Just delayed. Some stupid team will sign him to a big contract, and they'll get a 3rd round comp next year.

Ahh, true. I didn't think about the potential for a comp pick.

Whether Dee Ford plays for the Chiefs in 2019 remains to be seen, but they’re not going to let him walk in free agency.
Ford will get the franchise tag from the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. However, the report adds that the Chiefs are open to trading Ford if they get a good offer.
Schefter’s report refers to Ford as a linebacker, but if the Chiefs place the linebacker tag on Ford, he’d likely argue that he should be classified as a defensive end. The different is almost $2 million in salary for 2019; the defensive end tag is $17.128 million while the linebacker tag is $15.443 million.
Ford started all 16 games last year and had 13 sacks.

Between Collins and also Vernon, the Giants are really really playing with fire.

This is a signing that could hurt. Trent Brown was crap as a 49er and the Patriots scheme protected him a lot.
