Leonhard seems to be available. I'd certainly take a look.

Who Knows? The Shadow knows! -
Is he healthy? There must be a reason why a guy like that is still unemployed... -
He's a good guy - and very popular. Definitely makes up for any perceived lack of athletic prowess with high intellect and calling plays. THAT's what we need - someone who can be the 'QB' of the DBs...The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

We once signed Eugene Robinson to fill a similar void - and won a Super Bowl.Originally posted by Fosco33 View PostWho Knows? The Shadow knows!Comment

I thought Butler's leadership was always pretty good too - and lots of pro bowls. But yeah, Eugene was the free safety - Butler being strong. Guess Leonhard played more strong for Jets/etc.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

He's the undrafted guy from Wisconsin–Madison, right? I remember some clamoring to draft him in a late round that year. I'm pretty sure he's had a couple of major knee surgeries. Can't see a lot of interest in him around the league.--
Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...Comment

I was probably one of those homers wanting to see him in G&G.
Here's some fun Leonhard threads...

He's also from Ladysmith WI originally, and many fans have followed him since high school.Originally posted by Guiness View Post
Problem he has always faced is that he is 5'8" and 180 lbs. Sometimes when the small guys start to break down, it becomes continuous.Comment

What an awesome post this was
Many mocked me when I said Jim Leonard would stick in the NFL; I've watched this guy since he was a walk in freshman at age 19 for the UW Madison. Nobody would offer him a scholarship; he wanted to go to Madison. So he walked on. He was instantly noticeable as a freshman; very solid tackler and a ball hawk, It became apparent to me right away he had the ""IT"" factor and would find his way to at least a short career in the pros
People told him he was too small for college and didn't have enough skill.
But he was one of the most underrated Badgers in recent history.
People said he was too short and not strong enough for the NFL.
Don't bet against Jim Leonard; here's to you JimTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

The Pack already has a smallish safety in "Medical Doctor" Jennings. No need to add another, especially one with this many injuries, which surely have robbed the guy of whatever speed he had."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Guy needs to switch teams to Judaism, so we can call him "Mogen David" Jennings.Originally posted by Fritz View PostsigpicComment

Too many Badger haters in here..........lol
Seriously, nothing to lose by brining in an overachieving, outstanding example guy in the mold of Tauscher/Driver.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

By the time the Packers get done bringing in people who you think it couldn't hurt to bring in (Leonard, Cedric Benson, Chris Chambers?), there will be several healthy, talented, cheaper, younger players available for other teams to evaluate who have to leave the Packers roster.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
