One thing is clear throughout the start of NFL preseason, the Cleveland Browns stole Jarvis Landry, one of the league’s best receivers because the Dolphins didn’t want to pay him or risk losing him for nothing next offseason.
New general manager John Dorsey inherited a team bereft of veteran leadership and experience. At no position was this more apparent than the team’s receiver corps. Dorsey changed that in a heartbeat, sending fourth- and seventh- round picks for Landry, the league’s reception leader in 2017, but a player whose contract would expire following the upcoming season.
The trade, following by the quick long-term extension, exemplifies Dorsey’s proven NFL roster management acumen.
