The New York Jets have been looking into some veteran pieces in workouts recently, including former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry, according to KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson.
Landry has not played in the NFL since his one-season stint with the Saints in 2022, missing the entire 2023 season. In his time with the Saints, Landry played only nine games and started three, accruing 25 receptions on 39 targets for 272 receiving yards and a touchdown, with a 64.1% catch rate. Those stats would include a Week 1 masterclass against the division rival Atlanta Falcons where he had 7 receptions on 9 targets for 114 yards, including a spectacular 40-yard reception over two defenders during the Saints crunch time drive to win.
Unfortunately, Landry would eventually be injured and placed on season-ending injured reserve with an ankle injury. He would ultimately end up receiving an invite to rookie mini-camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars in April, however a signing was not made at the time.
It would be nice to see Landry back in the league in some capacity, especially working with a high-end quarterback such as Aaron Rodgers, to potentially end his career on a higher note than his injury in 2022. We will see how this develops and if the Jets make the choice to take a shot on him.
