Former Indianapolis Colts safety LaRon Landry has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2015 season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, the league announced on Friday.

Landry, an eight-year veteran who spent the previous two seasons in Indianapolis, was released by the Colts in February. Landry served a four-game suspension during the 2014 season for another PED violation.

It's doubtful that any team will want to sign Landry now as it would be forced to wait for his suspension to expire, and it wasn't like the veteran was tearing up the field (six career interceptions in eight NFL seasons).

Landry entered the NFL as a first-round pick (No. 6 overall) with the Washington Redskins in 2007 after a high-profile career at LSU. After five seasons in Washington, Landry earned his lone Pro Bowl berth with the New York Jets in 2012.

LaRon's brother Dawan also is a free agent and spent the past two years with the Jets, replacing his brother in their secondary.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
