You know what team makes a world of sense to me? The Eagles. Jeffery is going to be easing his way back from major surgery. They can cut Torrey Smith and save $5 mil under the cap, and look to Mack Hollins in that role. They haven't made the call on Nelson Agholor's 5th year option yet, and Jarvis Landry is a far superior version of the same player. Plus he could do some Trey Burton things, too.
If they traded #32 for Landry, they'd be trotting out an offense that looks like:
QB Carson Wentz (Team Control through 2020)
RB Jay Ajayi
WR Alshon Jeffery (Team Control through 2021)
WR Mack Hollins (Team Control through 2020)
WR Jarvis Landry (I'd assume extended through at least 2021)
TE Zach Ertz (Team Control through 2021)
Obviously they'd have to figure out their long-term plan at running back, and I'm projecting a bit with Hollins. But that's the makings of something special there.
Eagles don't have the cap space. Currently $6mil over the cap. Nor do they have the draft capital to execute a deal. They have their 1st but no 2nd or 3rd round picks this year. The Eagles do make sense on paper, I agree with your points. but realistically not a chance.
That's reasonable. I'm not even saying I would do that if I'm Doug Pederson. Just that it would be one angle towards making the most of their window.
If not the Eagles...Let me think...
The Browns would make sense, though they'd have to make sure he'd be willing to sign an extension with them. Whoever their QB is going to end up being, he'd benefit greatly from Landry. Cap space and compensation wouldn't be an issue for them.
The Ravens make sense on paper, but they're up against the cap.
The Colts make sense on the level that he'd be a great compliment to TY Hilton. I don't know if I'd spend the draft capital with so many needs along the lines though.
If the Broncos are serious about moving on from Thomas and Sanders, they'd make sense. Although honestly, I think they're closer to a rebuild than another Superbowl.
The Raiders don't have a world of cap space right now, but releasing some dead weight and extending Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper would put them in a good shape. I think Landry would thrive playing for Gruden, and Gruden would probably love not having to use a draft pick on a filthy rookie.
Whether it would make sense or not, it'd be a very Redskins thing for them to do.
Whether it would make sense or not, it'd be a very Cowboys thing for them to do (though I don't think they could work it into their cap.)
The Bears make sense for ANY receiver who can play, because they don't have any.
The Panthers make sense for the same reason, but I don't see it. They drafted McCaffrey and Samuel to do creative underneath stuff. I think they'd rather compliment Funchess with a burner.
If the 49ers could land him for less than their 1st, that would be another huge win for John Lynch. Landry and Jimmy G would make sweet music together.
And the Cardinals shouldn't be counted out, simply because they don't have much behind 34 year old Fitzgerald.
