MIAMI
(AP) — The Miami Dolphins decided receiver Jarvis Landry is worth any
headaches he causes, even if the cost is $16 million.
Landry
was given a non-exclusive franchise tag Tuesday after leading the NFL
with 112 catches in 2017. The move by the Dolphins came on the first day
that teams could assign franchise tags.
The tag's value is expected to be about $16 million. Landry made $894,000 last season.
Landry
has said he wanted to remain with the Dolphins, and they said they
wanted him back. But his volatile personality has been cause for a
concern — especially on a team that went 6-10 last year in part because
of poor discipline.
Landry
was ejected in the fourth quarter of the season finale, a loss to
Buffalo, and coach Adam Gase said the episode was embarrassing and
"extremely bad." But Landry was by far the highest-profile Dolphins
player eligible for free agency, and perhaps the best player on an
offense that sputtered throughout 2017.
