well... he has experience in the "ryan" system.

Pure Free Safety. Wonder if it's competition or for depth. Leonhard isn't spectacular by any mean but he's solid and a really smart player. Won't make a lot of mistakes.

"Welcome to Louisiana" sign pics or it didn't happen!

It looks like he got a decent contract with the Jets but broke his fibula or tibia and that sidelined him for a while.

Sorry for the mis-spell. He's a PR guy too isn't he? Or at least he's really reliable in making the fair-catch

 

[Pdlc]

Slightly better Kevin Kaesviharn

Purley a depth signing and he can play special teams.

It happened.

 

[SAINTSFAN]

meh. Probably able to get him for league minimum so that we do not use up cap room.

 

[wope]

Can he play safety?

 

[saintsfanfl]

Can he play safety?

Ummm! Why yes he can.

he goes nowhere after he catches the ball..

 

[sa1nt4life]

Good signing for depth, gonna have a lot of competition for the starting safety positions.

 

[Saintaholic]

He was a beast in his prime, also a great return guy. He's damaged goods at this stage. If healthy though, he's good depth.

Would've loved this signing 4 or 5 years ago.

What does this mean for IAQ and/or Rafael Bush... if anything?
