The Cleveland Browns have terminated the contract of wide receiver Jarvis Landry. He will become a free agent.
Landry was under contract for a non-guaranteed base salary of $14.3 million in 2022, the final year of his pact with the AFC North franchise. Landry’s release will save the Browns nearly $15 million in salary cap space.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection led the team with 52 catches in 12 starts last season. He totaled 570 yards and two scores. Landry joined the Browns in a 2018 trade from the Miami Dolphins.
The news comes hours after the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to send wide receiver Amari Cooper and a sixth-round draft pick to the Browns in exchange for a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick.
Cooper is expected to top the Browns’ depth chart at wide receiver in 2022. Cooper is signed through 2024. Donovan Peoples-Jones, Anthony Schwartz, J’Marcus Bradley and Demetric Felton are among the other wide receivers under contract with the Browns through 2022.
Peoples-Jones led the team last season with 597 receiving yards in 13 games.
