According to Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports, free agent safety LaRon Landry visited the New England Patriots on Friday. Next he’ll visit the New York Jets and Detroit Lions. The Chicago Bears have also showed interest in Landry.
Landry is certainly one of the most talented safeties in the NFL, but after being hampered by the same Achilles injury for two straight seasons, I wouldn’t sign him.

Mike Holmgren told me everything I need to know about the Washington Redskins trade-up for the Rams' slot in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Why else would the president of the Cleveland Browns have to explain to season ticket holders that he lost the bid to trade up for the rights to Robert Griffin III?
