The New England Patriots have begun their NFL free agency by signing Harold Landry, previously released by the Tennessee Titans, to a three-year contract worth $43.5 million. This move reunites him with former head coach Mike Vrabel. Analysts note that while Landry has been productive in his career, the contract, averaging $14.5 million annually, is viewed as an overpay. The signing addresses the need for depth in New England's edge rush and adds a veteran presence to the team, which is still looking to bolster their defensive lineup.
The Patriots needed to address their defensive edge this offseason, and Landry gives them a player that the coaching staff is familiar and obviously comfortable with.
Landry may not be what he once was as a pass rusher, but he still has been productive in the sack department while maintaining a strong level of play against the run.
