The Washington Redskins are set to sign former New York Giants safety Landon Collins when the NFL free agency opens on Wednesday.

Collins will reportedly sign a six-year $84m (£64m) deal with $45m (£34m) guaranteed.

Signing Collins fills one of Washington's biggest needs in a defence that ranked 17th in the league last season and is worth an average of $14m (£10m) a season for the player.

The 25-year-old led the Giants with 96 tackles last season and his 437 since entering the NFL in 2015 are the most among safeties in that time.
