Landry played through multiple injuries, hopes to stay with Browns
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry addressed his injury-riddled 2021 campaign and his future in a series of tweets Tuesday.
"(The) reality behind all this is I came back to play in the best shape of my life, I got hurt Week 2 with a high grade MCL sprain, partial quad tear, and bone bruise," Landry wrote. "(I) then came back way (too) early and ended up staying hurt the entire season. You never heard me mention anything about it."
Landry has one year left on his deal, though he can be released with minimal dead money. The wideout is set to make $14.3 million in base salary but can be cut for a $1.5-million dead-cap charge, according to Spotrac.
"I have put the ball in (Cleveland's) court by telling them I would like to stay but if not then I'm confident enough in myself to be a better healthy me this year and moving forward to helping do my part in winning a championship elsewhere," Landry added.
The 29-year-old also noted his lack of media availability during the season was a result of his drive to get back on the field as quickly as possible.
The Browns haven't approached Landry about restructuring his contract, a source told the Akron Beacon Journal's Nate Ulrich. However, Landry's representation will reportedly meet the team next week at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Landry posted career lows in receptions (52), receiving yards (520), and touchdowns (two) across 12 games last season.
