BREAKING: Saints sign S Jim Leonhard

I don't really like or dislike this move.

Pros- character guy with some versatility to provide depth at safety and special teams. Cheap. Short term. Allows some leverage to get something done with Harper.

Cons- brings nothing special to the table at all and if he has to start things aren't looking good.

I didn't realize Jim was so small...puts me in mind of Bob Sanders. Yep, one year deal and depth won't hurt.

If we trade him for Tebow we can trade Tebow for 3,4,7 round pics that we can trade down with out first to get a 2nd round pick.

He was solid when he played with the Jets, i know Rex really liked him and they way he played. Maybe the Ryan brothers have been talking

5' 8"?!? Man, we're gonna be giving it up over the top middle...

I think he really stood out when he was with the Ravens, but I don't know what he is like as a player these days.

I'm surprised at the lukewarm reception to this signing. Safety is a serious need for Saints. I bet he starts and provides an upgrade for the D.

How did Tebow get into this thread?
