He's not an Andy Reid type of WR. He likes guys that can run.

He's possibly the best slot receiver in the game and can put up ten catches a game with his eyes closed because of the separation he gets.
He'd thrive in Reid's system. That being said he's going to command 15m per year when he gets franchised.
Beat me to it- Landry will never line up outside, he will only play slot receiver but his production is outstanding. Landry's ability to find the soft spot against zone coverages and win on man to man routes (albeit for moderate gains) would be a perfect compliment to Tyreek's explosiveness on the outside and Kelce being a matchup nightmare already.
Landry is legit and you'll hear me all offseason saying that the a slot receiver is a position I hope Veach targets and acquires. I'm not a believer in Wilson at all, and none of the other receivers on the roster have the skill set to dominate the slot.
Landry I think is gonna be too expensive though. [Reply]
Also you'll hear people bitch about Landry's ypc being low and that's because they didn't watch the Dolphins throw passes to Landry three yards behind the line of scrimmage and the line falling apart and say "go get that first down" and then him catch it from his own shoelaces and then inexplicably go get that first down.
He made Cutler look decent if you just looked at the numbers. My biggest fear is Landry somehow ending up with New England.

Those are just two recent recent examples, and honestly... I have no idea what it all ultimately means
But when you throw it all in with his attempted cheapshot garbage with Revis, there is just no good reason to want him here... he looks, talks, and walks like a big fat headache
Why bother with him and his contract?
We already have receiving talent on offense... there isnt one good reason to waste money on that headache, we've got youth galore all over the place at WR
Fix the defense and give me a ****ing left guard
I have been assured by prominent posters on CP that Witzmann wasn't the problem with our OL. [Reply]
If Pittsburgh would take a conditional 2019 4th, I’d take on Bryant. But they have no reason to do so. I’m not sure what his value is other than a conditional pick because he’s one blunt away from banned for life [Reply]

Yes I was a Landry fantasy owner in PPR.
Definitely not fast running a 4.77 at the combine BUT he knows how to get open.:-) [Reply]

They'll improve marginally, but outside of Hill and Wilson( if the trade winds are aligned and blowing ), there's not much there. The difference in numbers between Hill and Wilson are drastic, and the other three might as well not even exist.
Now, you can point to Smith's apprehension at throwing the ball beyond the LOS, but even that can't cover every aspect of what the numbers bear out. The mathematics don't work like that.
So yes, it would be wise to investigate an upgrade and a compliment to Tyreek Hill.

Not by a little. Alex was throwing to the most wide open WR's in the NFL by a huge margin. Why do you think his stats were so good? Because he's awesome?
If they're getting open, not dropping the ball, and carrying a mediocre QB to a 4000 yard 26 TD season to go with the top QB passer rating in the league, me thinks they're not as bad as you claim. Bad QB's don't put up great numbers with bad WR corps. That makes no sense at all.
As I said earlier; if you're only goal is to get the ball to the point of reception and not very much further, then yes, the Chiefs are sitting pretty. [Reply]
