And again I don't think it can be overstated how far Landry regresses when his physical ability is less than perfect...he's not a player who can make up for it with his brains.

Before contract talks even begin, he would of course have to be cleared medically and the team would know if he is a medical risk or not. If he's ok, I expect he would be re-signed to a multi-year deal. If he's a medical risk they have a decision to make.

The problem is Landry has to decide pretty much right away (and as of last night, he hadn't officially decided from what I heard) whether to undergo the surgery.

And even then it might be too late. He's going to be in a boot for up to 4 months after surgery (as I understand it) and then we're talking probably June or July before he can really do anything truly physical again.

I'm no doctor, but unfortunately it seems that the Redskins (or whoever) have to make a guess on Landry next spring

It's really hard to imagine our FO re-signing him to a multi-year deal given the situation as you put it...let alone an outside franchise LMAO!

How's that dialogue w/ the agent go?

Agent: "So my client is looking for a solid multi-year deal but he's just not sure when he'll ever be physically able to play again...did I mention he was a 6th overall pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Anyone listening: ".......click"
