Jarvis Landry reportedly will receive franchise tag from Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are expected to use their franchise tag on wide receiver Jarvis Landry, according to reports.
The Palm Beach Post’s Joe Schad reported the news about Landry and the Dolphins Tuesday. The franchise tag will pay Landry around $16 million next season if he signs his tender.
The Dolphins also have DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills at wide receiver, so some were expecting Landry to become a free agent and even opposing players were recruiting him. It seems as if Miami does not want to lose him, though.
The 25-year-old had 112 catches for 987 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns last season. His yards were down from his consecutive 1,100-yard efforts, but his receptions and touchdowns were up, and the Dolphins appear to want him back.
