Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry to accept franchise tag, paving way for trade image

Jarvis Landry will sign his franchise tender. That doesn't mean he'll remain in Miami.

By accepting the franchise tag, Landry opens the door for the Dolphins to trade him.

While there are no imminent trade partners, Landry has given the Dolphins permission to seek a trade and Miami will get plenty of offers for the four-year receiver who led the NFL with 112 receptions for 987 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

The Dolphins receiver has said he won't play on the franchise tag because the one-year, $16 million contract "is not a good deal" for him. Landry, 25, wants a multiyear deal to provide him some long-term security. He has 400 career receptions for 4,038 yards and 22 touchdowns.
