The Colts have signed Jets free agent safety LaRon Landry, the club said Wednesday night.
CBS’ Jason La Canfora first reported the Colts-Landry pact. PFT has learned the deal includes $14 million in guarantees -- with $11 million guaranteed.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the four-year contract averages $6 million per season.
“We’re ecstatic about this signing,” Colts GM Ryan Grigson said in a statement issued by the club. “We feel LaRon is an absolute game changer and a true impact player. We’re talking about a 220-pound safety that runs 4.3 and plays to that speed. His approach to the game and his style of play are lights out and embody the culture we’re building on the defense and this team in general.”
The 28-year-old Landry recorded 100 tackles for the Jets in 2012 and made the Pro Bowl. He forced a career-best four fumbles and equaled a career-high in interceptions (tw0).
The Landry signing takes another member of the PFT Free Agent Hot 100 off the board. Landry was ranked No. 47 on the list.
Earlier Thursday, former Jets starting tailback Shonn Greene joined the Titans.
