Possible Pats Free Agent signing: Jets Safety Jim Leonhard

[JackBauer]

I'm surprised at the negative reaction to this idea. Leonhard is a solid player, by all accounts a great locker room guy, a leader, and at the very least gives a starting-quality depth option. That's exactly what we need. He's a significant upgrade in every area over Ihedigbo/Barrett/Brown.

Might not be a perfect coverage safety, but someone tell me how many of those guys are on the market. The only reaslitic options there are DeCoud and maybe Goldson. Everyone else is a strong safety like Leonhard, and they'll cost exponentially more.

Tyvon Branch?

He has been banged up a lot, strong in the run game doesn't seem to be that good in coverage, we need a S who can cover IMO.

That description seems to fit Mr. Pat Chung.

He is awful. No thanks. Jets fans are laughing at us picking through their garbage.

They laughed when the Patriots 'picked' Woodhead, too.


Let them laugh.
