Jim Leonhard-DB-Jets Mar. 3 - 1:50 pm et

Jets agreed to terms with S Jim Leonhard on a three-year contract.

The Broncos joined the bidding late, but New York apparently upped its offer. Leonhard, 26, has held up in 20 spot starts for Baltimore and Buffalo over the last three years and was a playmaker down the stretch last season. Not many full-time starting safeties are 5'8/185, but Rex Ryan's blitzing defense does protect defensive backs well. Leonhard figures to play free safety with Kerry Rhodes on the strong side. That would help Rhodes' IDP value.

Leonhard couldn't play dead in Buffalo. It'll be interesting how he does with the Jets.
 
Leonhard is a system player, wouldn't be anything special on most teams.

But, he's going to be playing in the same system with the... the, oh god I can't even say the name, as he did with the Ravens.

"That which I will not speak of" has had a pretty good offseason IMO. If they figure out the QB situation they might be dangerous.

I know but didn't Will Demps get paid for playing alongside Ed Reed also? Leonhard was god awful with the Bills and then goes to the Ravens and suddenly is flying all over the place. I like that the Jets go for it rather than sitback like other teams. I'm just not buying into Leonhard yet.

I agree. Leonhard IMO is a system player and a player who benefited from playing next to great defensive players like Ed Reed. Hopefully Rex Ryan can get the best out of him but I am not expecting a lot.
