Patriots Sign Harold Landry to Three-Year, $43.5 Million Deal

The New England Patriots have signed pass rusher Harold Landry to a three-year deal worth $43.5 million, which includes $26 million guaranteed. This signing reunites Landry with head coach Mike Vrabel, who previously coached him in Tennessee, and aims to bolster the team's defensive front as they shift to a more aggressive strategy under new defensive coordinator Terrell Williams. Landry, who had 10.5 sacks last season with the Titans, is expected to enhance the Patriots' pass rush, addressing a critical need for the team. In addition, the Patriots have also brought back tight end Austin Hooper on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million. The moves come as the offseason begins to heat up, with other teams making significant roster changes and trades. Notably, the Patriots missed out on acquiring wide receiver DK Metcalf, who was traded to the Steelers.
