Grading Harold Landry's $43.5 million contract with Patriots

The New England Patriots got on the board in NFL free agency before the legal tampering window even began, reportedly coming to terms on a deal with edge rusher Harold Landry.

Landry, who was released by the Tennessee Titans on Friday, will earn $43 million over three years with $26 million fully guaranteed, NFL Media's Tom Pelissero first reported Sunday.

The signing marks the first notable player transaction in Mike Vrabel's time as head coach of the Patriots. While Eliot Wolf remained as New England's executive vice president of player personnel and has said he's got final say over the roster, the move is a clear indication that Vrabel is running the show in Foxborough.
