According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New York Jets have signed free agent safety LaRon “The Hulk” Landry to a one-year $4 million deal.
If Landry’s healthy and that’s a big if, he’ll be a great acquisition for the Jets. The problem is that he’s been dealing with a lingering Achilles injury for the past two seasons.
Landry is great at stopping the run and is adequate in coverage.

LaRon Landry, five years removed from being drafted No. 6 overall, is leaving the Redskins for a one-year, $4 million deal with the Jets. Not much to say other than, well, it was a strange and disappointing five years.
