With the Cleveland Browns, he’ll be promoted and may even be the No. 1 receiver in a group that has taken giant strides from the inexperienced crew that started the 2017 season.
That’s the upshot from the news that the Browns are close to signing Landry to a new contract that will average more than $15 million per year, first reported by ESPN’s Josina Anderson.
Teams don’t pay receivers $15 million if they’re not on the field a lot. To put it in perspective, Landry’s average ranks third in the NFL behind Mike Evans of Tampa Bay and DeAndre Hopkins of the Texans.
