Looking at the 2021 Cleveland Browns wide receivers
By Greg Newland
Jarvis Landry
One of the most memorable parts of “Hard Knocks” in 2018 was the speech from Jarvis Landry. This was after the Browns had suffered an 0-16 season, and the team was trying everything possible to change the culture of the organization. Landry loves to talk and is known for his chatter on the field around the league, but he also gives you 100 percent on every single play.
In three seasons with the Browns Landry has only missed one game, and that was because of close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19. Landry had his biggest year in 2019 when he went for 1,174 receiving yards on 83 receptions and found the endzone six times.
Landry is under contract for the next two seasons, but there is a limited amount of dead cap ($3 million in 2019, and $1.5 million in 2020) so there is always speculation on what will happen. As good as Landry is and as much as he means to the team it will be tough to justify his salary of over $16 million in 2022.
Expect Landry to be apart of the Browns for the 2021 season, and I’m sure he will have another solid year. You can expect 900 plus yards and seven touchdowns, but the Browns will then likely move on as he will become a cap casualty. Many won’t want to hear this news, but unfortunately, the NFL is a business and Berry won’t be in the business of paying Landry this much money.
