BillsNYC Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 1. Jim Leonhard, S, Baltimore Ravens: It's easy to be overlooked on a defense loaded with as many stars as the Ravens have, but Leonhard was a solid and steady contributor. He proved to be an excellent complement to All-World free safety Ed Reed. He also was a factor as a return man. Leonhard offers tremendous instincts and a great deal of toughness. He won't cost much, but his potential value could very well far exceed that of many other players on the open market. 2. Demetric Evans, DE, Washington Redskins: Teams seeking a defensive end to be part of a 4-3 line rotation should give strong consideration to signing Evans. He might not be as dynamic as other players at his position, but his presence is consistently felt as both a pass rusher and run stopper. Evans also has the versatility to play inside in obvious pass-rush situations. 3. Leonard Weaver, FB, Seattle Seahawks: A deceptively good athlete, he has a long list of qualities that would allow him to be an asset to any offense, including one that doesn't necessary make extensive use of a fullback. He is a solid rusher -- especially in short-yardage situations but also as part of a two-man rotation -- and receiver out of the backfield. He also does a solid job of blocking on run or pass plays. 4. Kevin Burnett, OLB, Dallas Cowboys: Although he was a backup last season, he actually saw a good deal of playing time in nickel situations and handled himself well. As the year progressed, he made his mark in Wade Phillips' defense as an effective blitzer. Burnett enters the open market in search of a starting role, something he couldn't get in Dallas. Judging by the steady improvement he showed, another team could very well be catching him on the rise. 5. Mike Montgomery, DE, Green Bay Packers: He proved to be a little bit better than a stopgap while Cullen Jenkins was injured. The playing time should have provided some videotape that will catch the attention of personnel-evaluators around the league. What Montgomery showed was that he has superb versatility. He had no problem with the Packers' 4-3 defense, and could do equally well in a 3-4 defense, to which they are switching. It could turn out that the Packers re-sign him. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I don't think that Burnett would be a bad signing at all. I haven't really seen much of him since he's been in Dallas, but I remember watching alot of Tennessee games when he was in college. He's a very athletic with good enough strength to be an every down LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never thought they would lose him last year and now he's developed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm sure Sanders has the inside scoop on Montgomery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Leonard would be ideal saftey for us, a true playmaker with speed and can return punts if needed. How did we let him go? A big play type of guy we could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big play type of guy we could use. Because he can't cover worth sh--. But we sure could use his punt returning capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Byrd Man Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Leonard brings nothing we need, which is why we let him go. We have RP and LM for returns and he only looked decent in a star studded D with Baltimore. The man has great intelligence, and football awareness but he is slow. With the rush we generate he will be not nearly as effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass To The Arson Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Burnett is the only one worth looking at here maybe even Leonard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
