Suprised he is still in the league.

The NFL should contract back to 28 teams in 4 divisions and 2 conferences. Dump the Bengals, Browns, Jaguars and vikings.

It would also eventually get rid of over 200 of the worst players in the NFL and increase the quality of the game.

Vonta Leach is looking for work again and I can’t believe that there is such low quality players out there that Vonta Leach could make an NFL team.

He is a former Packer, of course the Vikes are interested.

It took Arian Foster to make Leach an All Pro. Still, he makes the running game better.

I still can’t believe this guy was in the NFL’s top 100 Players of 2010. A FB out of all the people left off of it.

I am a lifelong Steelers fan and dislike Ravens and Pats fans a lot but I would much rather sit on a bus for 10 hours and discuss football with them than be on it with you and have you screaming stupid crap into my ear about how great the Steelers are just because they are the Steelers and bringing up stupid points like last year’s rushing yards per game against totals. I have second hand embarassement from your lack of knowledge

Everyone who loves football loves these guys. I hope this guy gets every penny he deserves and then some.

He’s still really good. Hope to god the Texans can figure out how to get him back.

In 2006 the Packers cut Leach to make room for Koren Robinson. The Saints picked him up to pump him for info for their game with the Packers that year and then cut him.

Houston picked him up a few weeks later, probably due to Mike Sherman liking him. Sherman had been fired the prior season by the Packers.

If the Pack had it to do all over again, guessing they would have cut one of their mediocre TE’s and dealt with the Favre hissy fit over it.

Many people seem to have forgotten Vonta Leach was an undrafted free agent signed by the Packers, where he spent his first two years in the league.

So is it a fair trade, Tramon Williams for Vonta Leach? Who would you rather have on your team, Pro-Bowler CB Tramon Williams (thumbs up) or Pro-Bowler FB Vonta Leach (thumbs down)?

————————————–

What does this have to do with anything? Leach is the best free agent fullback on the market, and Tramon is under contract with the Pack. This article is about teams looking for fullback help.

Foster’s productivity would blatantly decrease if the Texans lose him, IMO.

Gronkowski, unlike his Brother in NE, SUCKS. His missed assignment allowed Romo’s collarbone injury. Leach would be a nice fit. Houston may have a bit of a problem paying him now that they have Joseph and Manning on their team.

Get it done. The Texans’ offensive players want him back. Frankly, that’s all the offense wants/needs. We’ve added about a dozen new defensive players through free agency and the draft. How about re-signing the freaking fullback? Is that too much to ask?

We have not had a real fullback in years! He would be a key part in returning a once proud run game. Leading the way for Knowshawn, McGahee, and Tebow. Broncos need to have a awesome run game if they hope to compete in run heavy AFC west.

McKie is still on the roster, so FB isn’t a major need right now. Get me a Tall WR first please!
