The New England Patriots are reportedly signing outside linebacker Harold Landry III to a three-year, $43.5 million deal, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on Sunday.
Landry spent the first seven years of his career with the Tennessee Titans after the team drafted him in the second round (41st overall) of the 2018 Draft.
His first year with the Titans also coincided with head coach Mike Vrabel’s tenure with the team, both joining the organization in 2018. Vrabel was let go by the team following a 6-11 campaign in 2023, however, and then took a year off before getting hired by the Patriots in January.
It appears that familiarity was a priority for Vrabel in his return to the coaching ranks, as he chose to reunite with the reliable veteran. Landry has played in every regular season game for the Titans in all but two of his seasons in the NFL — missing one game in his rookie year and all of the 2022 campaign due to a torn ACL.
The 28-year-old posted nine sacks, and 15 QB hits, 15 TFLs and a safety through 17 games in 2024, all of which led Tennessee. Landry has racked up 50.5 sacks, 102 QB hits and 70 TFLs through 98 career regular-season games while earning one Pro Bowl nod in 2021.
He was released by the Titans on Friday, freeing him up to sign with any team.
The Patriots didn’t stop there, however, as they reportedly re-signed tight end Austin Hooper to a one-year, $5 million deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. In 17 games with New England last season, the two-time Pro Bowler caught 45 passes for 476 yards and three touchdowns.
New England has the most cap space of any team entering the legal tampering period on Monday, approximately $125 million per Spotrac, and it appears they’re intent on making use of the financial flexibility.
The Patriots finished 4-13 last season, last place in the AFC East.
