100 catches almost guaranteed. Keep the gains moving.
Landry and Michael Thomas.

He’s not that player anymore. Hurt a good amount and lost his burst. Good #3 though, just don’t see him getting enough targets for 100 catches.
Winston is going to have some targets...

Thomas, Landry, Olave, etc.

The problem is Winston can find the other team, too.

Why would any WR want to go to Baltimore?

Exactly what I was going to say.
I forgot Winston was the Saints QB...

Curious to see that offense without Payton.

fair question but they are a good team with lots of targets up for grabs. i doubt anyone chooses BAL if GB or KC are calling, but competing for targets from Jameis with Thomas, Kamara, Olave?

Hollywood Brown put up some numbers last year on 150 targets and would have put up more if Lamar didn't miss 5 games.
For a guy who's such a great WR

No team seems to keep him.

He’s got some wear and tear on him, but I think he’s got a few good seasons left. Getting away from Mayfield is a plus, but Winston isn’t exactly an upgrade.

Landry is one of those players that could have really shined if he played for better teams. The stats he put up with a horrific Miami team are really impressive.
Cap Implications for Saints

Seems like the Saints are not in terrific Cap shape. How did they sign Jarvis Landry? Curious. I'm sure it was not for a Vet Minimum. They appear to be in "cap hell" in 2023. Guess some teams worry less about the Cap than others.

Before he got hurt last year he had 14 TD's and only 3 picks.

This is a great point. They used more of a short passing attack approach to minimize turnovers. That is where Landry could be very helpful in the slot. Keep in mind with that 14 TD number that 5 of those were in week 1.
I think the rap on Landry has been that he can gain a lot of yardage  
Ivan15 : 5/14/2022 10:05 am : link
Between the 20s but he doesn’t find the end zone often enough. He only had one big season of 9 TDs. So he is a good but not great contributor who keeps the chains moving. Not worthy of the big (at that time) contract he signed with the Browns.
