He has a rod inserted into his leg. He isn't fast like he used to be. Nah.

New York Jets won't bring back veteran safety Jim Leonhard - ESPN New York

Leonard is a hard nosed player. But it appears the Redskins already have who they need playing safety. Bruce Allen could always bring him in, but the front office needs to keep their word on trying to get the team younger. Leonard would provide valuable experience, but if the Jets truly thought highly of him he would still be on their team, wouldn't he?

Why? We have the Reed.

Yeah, the Jets have Landry who is already out for training camp, surprise...and they still released Leonhard? That doesn't do much for his value, neither does the knee injury.

We have plenty of competition at safety. I'm not saying talent, but we have bodies. I don't think Leonard is an upgrade on anyone.

Last 2 seasons, he broke a leg, went on IR. He tore his kneecap tendon, went on IR again. Sounds like Landry-lite.

I was envisioning a safety version of the Santana/Laveranues swap a few years back. Those dreams have now been dashed.

We've been hearing this for 62 years out of Philly.

I think the story is a little weak, it's not like he came out and publicly declared this year as the start of a dynasty.

True. But I don't see how the "d" word can be invoked at all without a championship. And the Dream Team didn't even make the playoffs.

Exactly. While I do think Philly will be A LOT better all around this year if my Vick-in-a-box can stay healthy, you definitely can't start throwing around the "D" word without at least winning something friggin' meaningful or at least get to the damn dance.

I agree with your first point, but I also feel this story is mostly media-driven since we're in a slow news cycle. It's standard athlete-speak as far as I'm concerned. Not once have I ever heard an athlete come out publicly and say negative things about his team. Generally you can lump players opinions into 3 categories:

1. I think we can make the playoffs.
2. I think we can win the Super Bowl
3. I think we can be a dynasty.

Vick just chose the most extreme of the 3.

Think Vick's been spending too much time on his V7 clothing line, rather than training/studying. I predict a poor season from Vick with at least 3 games lost due to injury.

Plus his autobiography.
