Sources: Browns trading for Dolphins' Landry

The Cleveland Browns are trading two draft picks to the Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Jarvis Landry, sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Browns are also working on a new contract for Landry, and a deal is expected to get done, according to a source. Exact terms of the draft picks the Browns will give up are not yet known, but a league source said one is in 2018 and one in 2019, and none are higher than the third round.

The trade can become official on Wednesday at 4 p.m.

On a busy day for the Browns, they have also agreed to trade a third-round draft pick to the Buffalo Bills for quarterback Tyrod Taylor, a source tells Schefter.

The Browns are badly in need of a receiver. As a group, the team’s wide receivers had seven touchdowns in 2017; Landry had nine. Kenny Britt, who was released in December, tied for the team lead in touchdowns for wide receivers with two (with Rashard Higgins and Corey Coleman). Higgins and Ricardo Louis led the Browns’ wide receivers with 27 catches.

Landry is a sure-handed receiver who led the league in catches in 2017 with 112; all Browns receivers had 134. ESPN Stats & Information reports the Browns have never had a 100-catch receiver. Landry missed 1,000 yards by 13, but had 1,136 and 1,157 yards the previous two seasons. In four seasons, Landry has 22 receiving touchdowns. The Browns as a team had 15 receiving touchdowns last season.

Only Antonio Brown (471) and Julio Jones (411) have more receptions than Landry’s 400 since he debuted in the NFL in 2014. Last season, Browns receivers caught 57 percent of the passes thrown to them; Landry has caught 71 percent in his career. He has been to the Pro Bowl three times.

The Dolphins placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Landry on Feb. 20, the first day teams could issue the designation to pending free agents. After meeting with Landry’s agent at the scouting combine in Indianapolis, the Dolphins gave the wide receiver permission to seek a trade. At least five teams expressed interest in Landry, including the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

  • After adding Jarvis Landry earlier Friday, the Browns stayed busy by acquiring quarterback Tyrod Taylor from the Buffalo Bills for a third-round draft pick, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

He was ejected in the Dolphins’ season finale against the Buffalo Bills after he was an instigator in a fourth-quarter brawl. Coach Adam Gase called the incident “embarrassing.”

On a busy day for the Browns, they have also agreed to trade a third-round draft pick to the Bills for quarterback Tyrod Taylor, a source tells Schefter.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall has also been informed he is being traded to Cleveland, per source.

Dani Alves denies wiping nose on Ronaldo's shirt

Paris Saint-Germain full-back Dani Alves has rejected accusations that he wiped mucus on the back of Cristiano Ronaldo’s shirt in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Video footage appears to show Alves rubbing his nose before touching Ronaldo’s sleeve, but Alves is adamant that it’s misleading.

PSG ended up crashing out of Europe after losing 5-2 on aggregate.

“In my job, it’s not painful to be eliminated because that’s part of day-to-day life, but to have to see and read stupid things like this,” Alves wrote on Twitter, as translated by Spanish newspaper AS. “I will continue competing like I have done and leave the nonsense to stupid people.”

Penoso en mi profesion en la mayoría de las veces no es quedar eliminado, eso forma parte del cotidiano nuestro, pero tener que ver y escuchar bobadas como esa…. pero bueno, continuaré competiendo como hice hasta hoy y las bobadas para los bobos!! #respectwinorlose!! https://t.co/XdHQyesSXm

Ronaldo battled with Alves throughout the Champions League tie, at one point aiming a kick that just missed the Brazilian.

Their rivalry goes back to their El Clasico days, with Alves spending eight seasons at Barcelona.

“If you think about it, I've never held a job in my life. I went from being an NFL player to a coach to a broadcaster. I haven't worked a day in my life.”
