Jarvis Landry is aiming to return to NFL action in 2024, but he has yet to find a deal. The former Pro Bowl receiver visited the Jets this week, as noted by Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. 
Landry last played in 2022 during his tenure with the Saints. He only managed nine appearances with New Orleans, though, and he was out of the league for all of last season. The 31-year-old took part in Jacksonville’s rookie minicamp this spring in a bid to land a Jaguars deal, but no agreement occurred. With training camps well underway, he remains unsigned.
New York still has Garrett Wilson atop the receiver depth chart, and the 2022 first-rounder is poised to remain the focal point of the team’s passing attack. The Jets used free agency to add a veteran deep threat in the form of Mike Williams, signing him to a one-year, $10MM deal. He, alongside third-round rookie Malachi Corley, is set to take on a notable role in 2024.
Landy would spend the rest of training camp on the Jets or any other interested team fighting for a depth spot on the roster. The former second-rounder was one of the league’s best slot receivers early in his career, earning a Pro Bowl nod in five consecutive years straddling his time in Miami and Cleveland. He received at least 101 targets during each of his first seven seasons, but his final Browns campaign (2021) marked the start of a decline in production. Expectations would no doubt be low for Landry if he were to find a deal before Week 1.
The Jets currently have just under $20MM in cap space, more than enough flexibility to afford an addition to the receiving corps. Landry will not be an expensive option given his missed time and limited production recently, and his ability to land a deal will no doubt depend in large part on his showing during his workout.
This seems more likely to be followed up with Landry retiring than Landry catching regular season passes for the Jets.

If the Jets are hosting Landry it must mean that Rodgers can’t find any more washed up retreads from the Packers.
There has to be a market for a guy who catches 65% of the balls thrown at him for an 11 yard/catch average. On the other hand, catch ratio has really bounced around in the last four years after a steady 70% average in Landy’s first five years. Looks like Landry would prefer to drop the ball than get hit across the middle at this stage in his life. Who could blame him?
At vet minimum Landry would be a great addition. But then why would Landry want to play for vet minimum or anything close? He’s had some big money deals. Is Landry out of cash?
