MIAMI (AP) Receiver Jarvis Landry has been given a non-exclusive franchise tag by the Miami Dolphins after leading the NFL with 112 catches in 2017.
The value of the tag is expected to be about $16 million. Miami made the move on Tuesday, the first day that teams could assign franchise tags.
The Dolphins hope to sign Landry to a multi-year deal, a person familiar with the team’s plans said. The person didn’t want to be identified because the Dolphins haven’t publicly discussed contract negotiations with Landry.
Landry had a franchise-record 112 catches and a career-high nine touchdowns in 2017, the final season of the four-year contract he signed before his rookie season.
