Dolphins trade wide receiver Jarvis Landry to Browns

MIAMI _ The Jarvis Landry era in Miami is over.

The Dolphins traded Landry, their talented, mercurial wide receiver, to the Cleveland Browns Friday for two draft picks. The trade will be made official at the start of the new league year Wednesday.

NFL Network reports the Dolphins will receive a pick in 2018 and another in 2019. The exact terms of the trade were not immediately available.

The trade suggests that Landry's representatives and the Browns have agreed to a long-term contract extension. Landry just Thursday signed his one-year, $16 million franchise tag, which cleared the way for the trade.

Landry has caught more passes in his first four seasons than any player in NFL history (400). However, the Dolphins balked at giving him the big, multi-year contract he desired, and granted his agent permission to work out a trade.

The Ravens and Browns were among the teams interested. On Friday, he green-lit a move to Cleveland, which has won just one game in the last two seasons.

"Y'all better understand s--- about to get SERIOUS ... ON MY MAMA," Landry wrote on Twitter after word of the trade emerged.
