Jets agree to 1-year deal with S LaRon Landry

Posted March 19, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: LaRon Landry
TEAMS: Washington Redskins

Free-agent safety LaRon Landry has agreed in principle on a one-year deal with the Jets, filling one of New York's most pressing needs. Landry spent his first five NFL seasons with the Washington Redskins after he was picked No. 6 overall in the 2007 draft out of LSU. The hard-hitting Landry had a number of teams interested in him despite finishing last season on injured reserve with an Achilles injury. ESPN reported Monday that the deal was for $4 million. Landry will slide in as a starter in a secondary that was in serious need of help at the safety position. New York also had Reggie Nelson in for a visit, but he chose to return to Cincinnati.
