Ian Rapoport reports that the Dolphins plan to keep all of their options with WR Jarvis Landry moving forward and it’s possible Miami could still trade Landry in the coming weeks for the right price.
According to Rapoport, some teams to watch for a potential trade involving Landry could include the Titans, Panthers, Saints, and Bears.
As for a potential long-term extension, Rapoport mentions that it’s more likely Landry would either play out the year under the franchise tag or be traded.
The Dolphins franchised Landry a few days ago, but that hasn’t stopped speculation that they could turn around and attempt to trade him to another team.
A trade involving Landry is unlikely unless he’s willing to agree to a long-term contract with another team.
Landry could complicate matters further simply by refusing to sign a long-term deal, considering that he now stands to make $16 million fully guaranteed for the 2018 season before once again being in position to test free agency in 2019.
Of course, a team could always franchise him for a second time, but that would come with a 20 percent increase above the $16 million he’ll make this year.
Landry, 25, is a former second-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2014. He’s entering the final year of his four-year, $3.5 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $893,852 for the 2017 season.
In 2017, Landry has appeared in 16 games and caught 112 passes for 987 yards receiving and nine touchdowns. He has also contributed 81 kick return yards. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 19 receiver out of 119 qualifying players.
