On the heels of acquiring Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys, the Cleveland Browns have now reportedly made a decision on the future of wide receiver Jarvis Landry.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Browns have granted permission for Landry to seek a trade.

Landry currently has a mere one more season remaining on his contract with the Browns. He signed off on a five-year extension deal a month after being acquired by Cleveland from the Miami Dolphins in 2018.

A pre-June 1 trade for Landry would mean that the Browns will then carry over $1.5 million in dead cap space for the 2022 season but also save $14.88 million. The same would transpire if the Browns opt to release him in the coming months, although it remains to be seen whether they may pursue this option if the veteran wide receiver fails to find a trade suitor.

Landry’s Browns future was much in question at the end of this past season. Browns general manager Andrew Berry has shied away from providing his firm stance on whether the team would entertain contract extension talks with the versatile wideout. He did mention at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine earlier in the month that the “next couple weeks are big for us in terms of assessing the entirety of the roster,” including the eighth-year receiver.

Landry noted last month on Twitter that he “put the ball” in the Browns’ court regarding his future with the team and that he “would like to stay.”

In the big picture, Landry is coming off a season where he missed time due to a knee injury. He opened up last month that he returned from injury early and “ended up staying hurt the entire season.” He finished with career lows across the board, including in receiving yards (570) and receiving touchdowns (two).

If the Browns do go on to part ways with Landry, quarterback Baker Mayfield will at the least have the likes of wideouts Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones available as offensive threats for the 2022 season. It will be noteworthy to see whether the Browns may add a receiver or two in the upcoming free agency period.
