Nola.com reports the New Orleans Saints have signed veteran safety Jim Leonhard to a one year deal announced on twitter:
Slow down Saints Fans! This doesn’t mean that Roman Harper will be leaving the team anytime soon.
Leonhard (5-8, 188) spent last season with Denver as mostly a backup. Leonhard was a starter the previous four seasons with the Jets and the Ravens. Leonhard, 30, spent his first three seasons in Buffalo (2005-2007).
Leonhard tallied 18 total tackles, two interceptions and three pass breakups last season with the Broncos. He started only one game last season, but played in all 16 games.
I expect Leonhard to be a situational player as he was last season and contributing on special teams.
