Ill just go out and play hard. ..."','04/27/2004','13:45','Tuesday'14069,2004,1076 6633,20,75,'Roundup: Collins Ready To Move On; Gannon Strong & More','Following up on a previous update. ... Kerry Collins, who told reporters on Monday that hes unwilling to take the pay cut necessary to remain with the Giants this year, is ready to move on.
Saturdays acquisition of rookie Eli Manning marked the beginning of the end for Collins.
The nine-year veteran, who took the Giants to the 2001 Super Bowl, is slated to make $7 million in base salary this season in the final year of his contract, with a reported salary cap figure of $8.95 million.
Collins, 31, met Monday morning with Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi, who told ESPN that Collins wouldnt restructure his contract and that they decided hed likely "move on" within the next 10 days.
"Ernie told me that he felt Eli was one of the three or four best college quarterbacks hes seen in the last 20 years," Collins told New York Newsday. "Someone like [John] Elway or [Dan] Marino. Someone like that. ..."
And that being the case, his disinterest in sticking around is understandable.
So the question becomes: Where does Collins go from here?
According to New York Daily News staffer Ralph Vacchiano, Collins agent, David Dunn, was given permission yesterday to speak to other teams and he has already gotten calls from four: Dallas, where former Giants offensive coordinator Sean Payton is an assistant; Baltimore, where Jim Fassel is a consultant; Oakland and Arizona.
"It may be hard for me to find a job as a starter now, but I believe Im a starter," Collins said. "I believe Ive got a lot of good years left. Hopefully therell be some options and Ill try to pick the one thats best for me."
