2. Jarvis Landry

Jarvis Landry is coming off two of the least productive seasons in his career while dealing with injuries. He’s still a player who had a 1,000-yard season in 2019 and gave the Browns a go-to guy in the passing game alongside Odell Beckham Jr.

Does Landry have anything left in the tank? That’s the risk a team like the Packers will have to take to bring him in, but he’ll be considerably cheaper to sign because of his recent struggles.

In 2021, he had 52 catches for 570 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games. In 2020, he had 72 catches for 840 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games. The five seasons before that were Pro Bowl years with the Browns and the Dolphins.

The injury concerns are real and his age isn’t an advantage, but he’ll still only turn 30 in the middle of the 2022 season. The risk could pay off big time.
