The New Orleans Saints improved their receiving corps with the signing of wide receiver Jarvis Landry of Metairie, Louisiana according to Nick Shook of nfl.com on Monday. The Saints become Landry’s third NFL team following four seasons each with the Miami Dolphins (2014-2017) and the Cleveland Browns (2018-2021).
The terms of the deal are for one year, and $6 million according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Last season with the Browns, Landry had 52 catches for 570 yards and two touchdowns.

A five-time Pro Bowler (2015, 2016, and 2017 with Miami and 2018, 2019 in Cleveland), Landry led the NFL with 112 receptions in 2017.
