Browns WR Jarvis Landry nears agreement on contract worth at least $15M per year

The Cleveland Browns and wide receiver Jarvis Landry are close to finalizing a long-term deal that would average more than $15 million per year, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson.

The Browns acquired Landry in a trade last month with the Dolphins, sending a fourth-round pick this year (123rd overall) and seventh-round pick in 2019 to Miami in the swap.

Without a new contract, Landry would play the 2018 season on the franchise tag, which the Dolphins used on him prior to the trade.

Landry will look to boost a Browns wide receiver group that scored seven touchdowns in 2017; Landry had nine for the Dolphins.
