Veteran wide receiver Jarvis Landry will visit the New Orleans Saints this week, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Saints have been trying to bolster their wide receiver depth chart after struggling at the position last season. Injuries have sidelined Michael Thomas, the team's No. 1 target, for most of the last two campaigns. Thomas appeared in only seven regular-season games in 2020 and missed the entirety of 2021 due to an ankle ailment.

Landry became a free agent after the Cleveland Browns released him March 14. The Browns, who saved $14.88 million in cap space by cutting the 29-year-old, have shown interest in re-signing him at a lower price.

The Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Green Bay Packers are among other teams who've been linked to Landry this offseason.

Landry spent the past four seasons in Cleveland and led the club in receiving in three of those years. However, the five-time Pro Bowler caught only 52 passes for 570 yards and two touchdowns through 12 appearances in 2021.

Running back Alvin Kamara led the Saints with 47 receptions last season. Marquez Callaway was New Orleans' most productive wideout in 2021, racking up 698 yards and six touchdowns on 46 receptions.
