Safety LaRon Landry has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Landry just got done serving a ten-game suspension for his second violation of the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. There’s no official word yet on Landry’s latest infraction, but one has to imagine that it has to do with PEDs.
Landry, 31, signed a four-year deal with the Colts in 2013, which guaranteed him $11MM in his first season. However, his two seasons in Indianapolis were marred by injuries, underwhelming play, and a PED suspension which cost him four games in 2014. The former sixth overall pick has played in 103 career games with 97 starts over the course of eight seasons. In 2012 while with the Jets, Landry made his first (and, to date, only) Pro Bowl.
Due to his previous suspension, Landry has been without a team all year long. Now, it’s not clear if he’ll ever be with an NFL team again.
What a waste of talent
Just go to any search engine, look up any picture of Landry in a gym over the last year or two, and you will have your probably answer as to what he just got suspended for. He looks, well, overly pumped up.
It’s unfortunate some guys just can’t help themselves.
Landry would have fit in the NFL better 15-20 years ago, when teams weren’t regularly spreading the field and forcing bulky safeties into man coverage.
