Browns Extend Landry to 5/75M Deal

[GNG]

I like Landry, he's a good receiver but that's a bit of an overpayment IMO.

All these players are overpaid.

I think you can have a great Jet Sweep game with Landry, too. The teams would have to respect it, and then you could run fake JS while Gordon and Cannon running patterns deep downfield,

Everyone loves a slot WR who runs a 4.77

 

[BigFin]

Landry is probably the best slot receiver in the NFL. So, the Browns basically got the best player in the NFL at that position.

 

[DJ]

Holy shit.

Gordon has to be thinking, "If I can just stay on the straight and narrow........I'M GONNA GET PAID!!!!!"

 

[SteelersPride]

hes really gonna be the slot with coleman and gordon outside

And paid like a stud #1

Well, when you're paying your #1 WR $790k and likely $5 mil over the next 2 seasons, it's not too hard to love the Landry deal.

He is our #2...

The guy that has scored 2 TDs the last four years is the number 1, until his next suspension/ban.

You'd give your left nut to have him on the Rams.

Nah, my left nut is the better one.

Overpaying Landry may be possible due to available cap space, but that doesn't make it smart and certainly does not make it something I would think a Browns fan would "love".

Brilliant move because as we all know, big money WRs is what drives success and championships. Antonio Brown, Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Sammy Watkins, AJ Green. Rings galore!

Can't say it's an overpaying, either. Fact is, he's a monster in the slot, which is exactly what Tyrod needs. Given the insane amount of money the Browns have, this was a great signing.

Albert Wilson was a more efficient WR in most every way than Jarvis Landry outside of volume- while behind Kelce and Hill- and got 3 year deal with 8 AAV with Landry's former team

Disagree with a lot of that. He is decent, not great and will never be. You even stated he isn't even the best WR on the team, but he is like the 4th highest paid in the league (and probably 3rd after Dez is cut or reduced)? He isn't a monster anywhere, he is a volume guy. I think he is a good receiver, but I don't think he is the type of guy to make or break a team. And Taylor? Best thing for the Browns would be him being beaten out for the starting job week 1 by whomever you take #1 overall...

A WR who struggles to get 10 yards a catch is not worth 9% of the salary cap.

Those are some of the worst takes I've seen on the NFL board, gotta be honest. I'd say the biggest overvaluation here would be your 2 cents.

That Wilson signing was a disaster. It's not like Wilson was an early draft pick who has yet to live up to his potential. He's a former undrafted free agent and that was for a reason. Alex Smith isn't Drew Brees, but Wilson could never even muster more than 42 catches in any season. Alex Smith threw the ball 505 times last year, and only 63 of those went Wilson's way. Why would that be the case if he's such an "efficient" WR?

There's a reason Landry got a ton of targets - he's a damn good WR. I couldn't even name another WR on KC's roster last year other than Tyreek Hill.
