- FB VONTA LEACH TO MAKE DECISION ON NEW TEAM WITHIN TWO WEEKS - Vonta Leach became a free agent last week following the Baltimore Ravens decision to release him after they couldn’t find a team interested in becoming a trade partner for the 31-year-old fullback and his $4.33 million cap hit in 2013. Leach is drawing interest from several teams, and says he will make a decision on which team he will sign with within the next two weeks, Tony Castleberry of the Daily Reflector reports.
Leach, a nine-year veteran, has only 24 carries for 70 yards and three touchdowns during his NFL career. But he is considered to be the best lead blockers in the league and is a great safety-valve receiver out of the backfield. He’s accumulated 112 receptions for 749 yards and four touchdowns.
Leach has already made visits to Miami and Houston, where he played from 2006-2010 and according to several reports, is his top choice to sign with.
Three other teams are reportedly interested in signing Leach: the Chiefs, Giants and Browns. And it’s possible he could return to Baltimore at a reduced salary. (Photo: Harry How/Getty Images)
