Patriots' questionable free agent signing just became a no-brainer success
"Landry was Mike Vrabel's second-round pick during his first season in Tennessee. He was a contributor right away, racking up 4.5 sacks in his rookie year. That is his career low to this point, as his peak was a 12-sack season in 2021. He would miss 2022 with a torn ACL, but would have 19.5 sacks across the next two seasons."
"Through 14 games, he has 8.5 sacks in New England, with one in each of his last three. He is two sacks ahead of K'Lavon Chaisson, now with the most on the team, and it's becoming increasingly obvious why Vrabel wanted him to be part of this project. Harold Landry has been a very solid free agent addition for the Patriots' defense Landry's three-year deal is worth $14.5 million per year, ranking him 25th among edge defenders in terms of contract value."
Harold Landry signed with the New England Patriots after his release from Tennessee and has delivered meaningful production, totaling 8.5 sacks through 14 games. He produced 4.5 sacks as a rookie, peaked at 12 in 2021, missed 2022 with a torn ACL, then recorded 19.5 sacks across the next two seasons. Landry's three-year deal averages $14.5 million per year and ranks 25th among edge defender contracts. His performance has been streaky, with large variations between games, and 5.5 of his sacks came against teams that allow many sacks. He provides experience, locker-room leadership, and a reliable bookend presence.
