The Miami Dolphins apparently love wide receiver Jarvis Landry enough that the National Football League franchise is willing to break the bank for him.

That’s the word on the mean streets from Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, who reports that the Dolphins plan to start contract talks or already have with Landry’s agent.

For those unaware, Jarvis Landry is on his final year of his rookie contract.

Landry, who is a talent receiver in a tough position, might not immediately sign whatever deal the Dolphins offer. While he might not be a top-five receiver in the NFL, the franchise may be forced to use the franchise tag on him, giving him more loot than he might technically be worth.

It would be wise for him to see what is what before inking anything, really.

Landry has a career-low yards-per-catch average of 8.5, but he has 88 receptions with three games to play. That puts him on pace for 108. Mind you, this is without Miami's original starting quarterback being behind center. Those are still insane numbers for a guy not exactly having a career year.

He's not just a pass-catcher, either. Landry has earned a rep as a good run-blocking receiver who gets the most out of his abilities each and every play.
