BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns have released wide receiver Jarvis Landry, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.
The two sides attempted to restructure his contract to keep him in Cleveland, per a league source, but ultimately couldn’t work out a deal. Landry is now free to sign with any team.
The Browns had granted Landry permission to try and seek a trade after Cleveland dealt for Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl wide receiver Amari Cooper on Saturday.
Landry was set to make $16 million next season but had no guaranteed money left on his deal. He tweeted in February that he would “like to stay” in Cleveland, but he also said that he is confident he can still be a contributor for another team in “winning a championship.”
Landry is a five-time Pro Bowler but struggled last season with a knee sprain that he suffered in Week 2, an injury that kept him out five weeks. He finished with 52 receptions for 570 yards and four total touchdowns — all career lows.
