7 years agoThe Miami Dolphins placed the franchise tag on impending free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry on Tuesday. Despite reports in the last year that Miami was likely to move on from Landry, the team will at least pay him $16 million this season on the non-exclusive tag, meaning he'll be able to negotiate with other teams, but he'd cost an outside team two first-round picks to sign him. Miami placing the tag on Landry may signal that the two sides are close to a long-term extension. The Dolphins may have had a change of heart after Landry led the NFL with 112 catches, although he averaged a measly 8.8 yards per catch. A career-high nine touchdowns made up for that, though. If Landry is signed to a long-term deal, that signals bad news for DeVante Parker, who had a disappointing 2017 season. Landry is a low-end WR1 in PPR leagues, although matching his nine touchdowns in 2018 will be hard to do.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
