He was my favorite Jet. I was sad to see him leave the Jets. The Jet front office treated him badly after he suffered an injury, which he did not deserve. The Jets suck!

Great team player and solid kick return talent. A single KO return for TD last season and he’d remain a Seahawk. He was overdue too long and the Harvin trade sealed his fate. A true fan favorite, though, and I wish him success with whichever team picks him up, except against us, of course!

Godspeed, Leon! Thanks for all your effort and all the thrills. :^)

Gerhart might be looking to go elsewhere with his lack of playing time. Washington would be a great change of pace back to give AP a breather. Also, the Vikings just lost their punt returner. Seems like a perfect fit.

Would be sad to see him go if I were a Seattle fan. This guy made games fun.

He can provide just as much in the return game without expecting a large role on the offense like Ginn apparently does.

Thank you for a great couple of season’s Leon. You’ve had some of the greatest moments in Seahawks history.

Sad to see him go. Someone will get a great return guy.

He’s a dynamic exciting playmaker, makes the extra efforts & all around great teammate. I’d love to see him receiving out passes again invigorating the Jets backfield!

Trust in Leon

Seattle is sad to see him go but this was a good time to move on.

I wish Leon Washington nothing but the best of luck!

Best of luck to him wherever he lands. The 12th Man will miss him.

I love Leon but he’s a bit expensive for a more or less dedicated return man. Best of luck to him finding a new home.

Honestly he will change the field for whatever team picks him up. He was a Pro Bowler this past season for good reason. NFL kick off changes really hurt him though. Best of luck Washington

Better than a rookie, because he’s proven over the years he has great hands for the return game, and he can still break the big one now and then.

Kinda sad to see him go, but, it’s a business.

I know Harvin is younger and has a higher ceiling, but?
