Landry says he didn't have a 'good relationship' with Tannehill

Ryan Tannehill and Jarvis Landry had chemistry on the field, but the same can't be said of the former Miami Dolphins teammates off the gridiron.

"We didn't really have a good relationship anyway, so I'm not surprised," Landry told NFL Network in an interview set to air Wednesday afternoon, when asked why he hasn't heard from his former quarterback since being traded to the Cleveland Browns.

Landry posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with Tannehill from 2015-16 and was named to the Pro Bowl both years. But he revealed his apparent distaste for the signal-caller a week ago, when he said the Browns' quarterbacks are "a lot better than what I had in Miami."

"I wasn't trying to take a shot at him," Landry said of his apparent criticism of Tannehill. "I understand how hard every guy in this NFL works, especially at the position, especially at the quarterback position. But at the same time, too ... I give credit where credit is due."

Landry has seemed to enjoy himself since joining the Browns, and on Tuesday he quickly supported teammate Josh Gordon's claim that Cleveland possesses the NFL's best receiving corps.
