The franchise tag for a wide receiver will likely pay Landry around $16 million.
Landry reportedly received permission from the Dolphins to seek a trade. Any team that deals for him may try to negotiate a long-term deal with him first before agreeing to surrender assets in a trade.
Landry caught 112 passes for 987 yards and nine touchdowns last season. The 25-year-old has two 100-plus reception and two 1,000-plus yard seasons in his four-year career.
