LaRon Landry Ends His Sorry Redskins Career, Signs With Jets

Found March 19, 2012 on Mr. Irrelevant: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: LaRon Landry
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
80
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. Good luck to The Ron, and good luck to any shirts with sleeves in the NY metropolitan area. They’ll need it.
