Patriots Sign Harold Landry to Bolster Pass Rush

The former Titans linebacker reunites with coach Mike Vrabel on a three-year, $43.5 million deal to address New England’s defensive struggles.

Harold Landry, 28, signed a three-year contract worth $43.5 million, with $26 million guaranteed, following his release from the Tennessee Titans for salary cap reasons.
Landry brings familiarity to New England, having played under new Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams during his six-year tenure in Tennessee.
The linebacker recorded nine sacks, 15 tackles for loss, and 15 quarterback hits in 2024, continuing his streak of three consecutive seasons with at least nine sacks.
New England’s defense struggled in 2024, ranking last in the NFL with 28 sacks, and Landry’s addition is expected to rejuvenate the team’s pass rush capabilities.
A Boston College alumnus, Landry’s return to Massachusetts marks a homecoming as he becomes the first former BC player to join the Patriots since 2012.
