Good. He sucks.

Oh well. Would've been a nice story but he's obviously not healthy enough to play for us. F it.

There is no way he's physically ready for the long haul.

That injury of his was pretty bad and he's already old and limited.

I've read that it's the same injury that Terrence McGee is recovering from. I'm wondering if his slow development was a factor in the Bills decision to not sign Leonhard. It's doubtful, but a theory as far fetched as it is. I'm thinking they want someone who can contribute right away. With a new defense being installed, I could imagine the last thing they want is a free agent who has to spend his first few weeks with the team in recovery from a serious injury. Once the season starts it's hard for a new player to catch up with the rest of the team. The Bills want to have all players on the same page by game 1 in September. JMO

Yeah, I read that he won't be able to play until at least Oct.

Now that he signed somewhere...he was too small, too injury prone and sucked as a returner anyways.

Another reason why Buffalo wasn't a fit for him was because he knew he had no shot at starting. Nix said he wanted more depth there, i.e,. backups only.

Anyone else think it was strange that Chan was not at his workout?

That showed his level of interest right there didn't it.

Jim Leonhard, Keith Brooking could be cut by Broncos
Leonhard was activated off the physically unable to perform list, but still isn't fully ready for practice.

When the Bills brought him in, the word was he may not be able to play until Oct.

Re: Jim Leonhard left Buffalo Thursday without a contract & just signed with the Bron

even if they liked leonhard its a tough call to add him to your team. do you bump a promising young player to add him even though he wont be ready until at least a quarter of the season is gone? are you even positive he will be ready then? how will he perform without having camp and game reps up to that point? are there other players from cutdowns and practice squads youd rather have available right away?

Sign him to 2 year contract and stash him away on IR.
