Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry was unsuccessful in his latest bid to return to the NFL.

Landry tried out with the New York Jets on Thursday, marking the second time this offseason that he has been brought in by an NFL team. Landry participated in the Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie minicamp back in April.

The Jets, however, passed on signing Landry and reached an agreement with two former UFL players, wide receiver Isaiah Winstead and fellow wideout Brandon Smith, on Friday.

Landry, 31, was released by the Cleveland Browns in 2022 after they traded for fellow wideout Amari Cooper. Landry played for the New Orleans Saints in 2022 but was limited to nine games due to multiple injuries. He caught 25 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown.

Injuries were a hurdle for Landry in his final two seasons with Cleveland and he previously played for the Miami Dolphins.

Landry has 713 catches for 7,870 yards with 38 touchdowns in 132 career games (116 starts) with the Dolphins, Browns and Saints.
