But there’s one statement that resonates. It’s something Landry said on the final day of the season, and the Dolphins know he’s right.
“I want to be here,” he said. “If not, I’ll find a way to be successful elsewhere.”
He will be successful elsewhere. Count on it.
Landry’s career is off to a great start, and he’s only 25. He’s going to put up many more excellent seasons. The only question is whether the Dolphins are smart enough to make sure those happen in their uniform.
Ultimately, it seems highly likely Miami and Landry will reach a deal that works for both sides, and the team still has the franchise tag and transition tag in its back pocket if necessary. But it should never come to that. It shouldn’t have even come to this.
The Dolphins need Landry more than he needs them, because there should be a line of attractive suitors for him on the open market. He’s going to get his money whether it’s here or, as he said, elsewhere. It’s far less of a certainty that Miami will be able to find another Landry.
