Leach wants to return to Texans

While the timing could have been better for fullback Vonta Leach , the outcome isn’t entirely a surprise. The Pro Bowl fullback is back on the market, cut by the Ravens. He’d like to go back to the place where he spent five seasons before arriving in Baltimore.

“Obviously, which teams you have the best fit at,” Leach’s agent, Ralph Vitolo, told FOX 26 in Houston.

“The most logical fit and the smoothest transition to another team would be Houston because he’s already been there.

“He understands the coaches, the scheme. He’s worked with Arian Foster and the rest of the offensive line, so it would be a very smooth transition to go back to Houston.”

Actually, it would have been smoother if it had happened before the Texans signed veteran fullback Greg Jones.

If the Texans aren’t interested, Leach is interested in the Broncos, Cowboys, and Bengals . Either way, Vitolo said he plans to contact all 32 teams.

Um, Ralph? It’s probably safe to take the Ravens off the list.

I wonder how this guy keeps getting cut. I know he's "just" a fullback, but he's elite at his job. Is it a lack of versatility?

Money is a big part of it. Was with the Texans and Ravens.

Plus he's a specialist. He can't play ST and he is not much of a receiver.

It really just comes down to this. Too much money for a lead blocker who isn't an STer or threat as a receiver. But you'd think he'd be a huge help in pass protection.

We heard that Vickers was some OMG AWESOME lead blocker too and now he's facing the axe.

At least Vonta Leach wouldn't miss time if he fell into an ant pile.

There's no sense paying Leach given our current roster. Without a competent offensive line a good FB is wasted. Plus we're going all in with the 2 TE offense and probably aren't interested anyway.
