Report: Saints Sign Pro Bowl WR Jarvis Landry
In this story:
According to Jordan Schultz, the New Orleans Saints will have another homecoming with veteran free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry and the team agreeing on terms.
Landry is a proven offensive weapon for quarterback Jameis Winston and offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, Jr. Last season, Alvin Kamara was the Saints top receiver with 47 receptions, Marquez Calloway had 46 receptions. New Orleans receivers struggled with Michael Thomas in the lineup and no consistent No. 1 receiver emerged during the season.
The five-time Pro Bowler expects to join All-Pro Michael Thomas and rookie Chris Olave in the New Orleans starting receivers rotation.
