In what can best David Montgomery Jersey be described as a curious move, the on Tuesday, which means the wide receiver will make $16.2 million in 2018. If that sounds exorbitant, it is; in terms of total cash, Landry will be the NFL's wideout behind only . Yes, Landry had a career-best 112 receptions and nine touchdowns last season, but he managed just 8.8 yards per reception. In terms of value per play, , ranking 59th among all receivers, according to Football Outsiders. There's also this: According to the 's Armando Salguero, Landry was looking for a long-term deal that would pay him $14.5 million per season. The Dolphins found that too expensive but were fine paying Landry $16 million in 2018. On one hand, Kyle Fuller Jersey you can make an argument that overpaying Landry for one season makes some sense; he's the Dolphins' best receiver an will make life easier for (or a rookie should the team target a quarterback early in the draft). On the other hand ... well, this: Cooks + Gale Sayers Jersey Edelman + Hogan = $15.9MLandry = $16.2MThe franchise tag is tough to swallow in a hard cap system. Spotrac (@spotrac) But there's also Door No. 3: The Dolphins could trade Landry. A league source tells that that could be the plan but requires Landry to a) sign his franchise tender and b) agrees to accept a long-term deal from a new team. There's also the matter of what any new contract will look like. Yes, Landry was reportedly willing to take $14.5 million annually but that was before the Dolphins gave him a $1.7 million raise with the franchise tag. If trading Landry was Miami's plan all Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jersey along, the wide receiver has all the leverage. He can stay put and earn $16.2 million for a season's work. Or he can dictate the terms of any new deal with one of the 31 other teams. But here's the thing: Who would want to pay a No. 2 receiver averaging le s than 10 yards per reception like one of the NFL's top pa s catchers? Whatever happens, Jonathan Bullard Jersey the Dolphins and Landry have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal or a trade. If not, he'll have to play out next season on the $16.2 million franchise tag.
