Scott Fujita will leave a legacy behind in New Orleans, even if he leaves via free agency.

The Super Bowl starter has decided to donate half of his $82,000 playoff earnings to charity, including roughly $20,000 for coastal restoration in Louisiana.

"This place have given us so much, we feel a responsibility to give something back, " Fujita said.

Fujita will also donate to Haiti relief, but the coastal restoration issue is one of paramount importance to the sustainability of New Orleans. Yet Bob Marshall of the New Orleans Times-Picayune notes the threat of wetlands loss doesn't even get much political attention in the city.

Fujita, for one, is doing his part to change that.

I really want him to stay.
