Dawan Landry is a hell of a run stopper with 200 tackles combined in the last 2 years as a strong safety for the Baltimore Ravens. He was better in coverage last year, but in 2009, he was one of the worst safeties in coverage in the league. Plus, he’s spent his entire career next to Ed Reed and with a great front 7 in front of him. He could easily be the product of a great supporting cast. The Jaguars needed safety help and Landry is definitely better than anything they had there last year, but giving him 5 years 27.5 million with 10.5 million of that guaranteed might not look like a smart move in a few years if Landry is just an average safety or worse in the league.
