After acquiring Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys, the Cleveland Browns have given their WR Jarvis Landry permission to seek a trade. The Browns feel stable enough to entertain trade offers for their veteran receiver. The 29-year-old WR was headed into the final year of his $75 million worth five-year contract. 

Landry has been a staple name in the Cleveland Browns offense for the better part of the last four seasons. He has helped the franchise win games and earned respect in the past. But with Cooper added into the squad, the Browns have put Landry on the trading block.

Jarvis Landry with the Cleveland Browns

Before joining the Cleveland Browns, Landry was catching passes and scoring touchdowns for the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins selected the WR in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft. In his first season in the league, the athlete won the PFWA All-Rookie Team honors. During his final season in Miami, the receiver led the NFL with 112 catches in 2017.

Jarvis Landry joined the Cleveland Browns in 2018. The second year in Ohio was special for the receiver as he recorded a career-high of 1,174 receiving yards in 2019. The veteran receiver is a workhorse. Before the last season, he had appeared in 111 out of 112 regular-season games. 

Injuries have haunted the Browns receiver a lot recently. Landry revealed last month that he has suffered a high-grade MCL sprain. He has a torn quad and a bruised bone which he sustained during the Browns’ week 2 win over the Texans. The receiver has claimed that he was hurt throughout the season and came back from the injuries a bit too soon.

With such an impressive resume, Landry will not have many difficulties in finding a new home. Many teams will show interest in the five-time Pro Bowler. Even though he missed the last five games of the previous season, Landry helped the Browns capture their first playoff berth in 18 years in 2020. A player like Jarvis Landry is not someone to sleep on.
