‘Welcome to the family:’ NFL players react to the Miami Dolphins trading Jarvis Landry
The news that has been expecting for a couple weeks now finally broke: Jarvis Landry’s time with the Miami Dolphins is over.
The Dolphins traded Landry to the Cleveland Browns for a pair of draft picks. The move will be made official at the start of the new league year Wednesday.
And NFL players — Browns, Dolphins and members from the other teams alike — had plenty to say on Twitter following the announcement. Among them:
Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills, who played with Landry for each of the past three years:

I like what the Browns are doing. Jarvis Landry is a beast. And he plays with the kind of motor and heart that will make it easy for Cleveland fans to root for.
