Moving to Plan B
By Rafael Vela
The Cowboys may have another small move on their free agent radar. The East Valley News (Arizona) claims Dallas is among four teams interested in restricted free agent FB Vonta Leach.
Leach is a central casting fullback, at 6′2″, 250 lbs. The undrafted free agent played for Green Bay in ‘04 and ‘05 and was rated by some a better blocker than regular William Henderson, whom the Packers cut a few days ago.
Leach was cut before the season and claimed by New Orleans who lost both their fullbacks to injuries in the season opener. The Saints later released Leach and he was claimed by the Texans. He was reunited with former Packers HC Mike Sherman, who runs the Texans o-line. Sherman has stockpiled old Packers; Leach joined RB Sam Gado, C Mike Flanagan and TE Ben Steele in Houston. Sherman obviously had a hand in luring Ahman Green to Houston as well.
Leach already has a “nice offer” from the Giants, according to his agent. He’s also visited Arizona and Cleveland, so Dallas may decide to stick with converted LB Oliver Hoyte, if that nice offer proves too rich for its blood.
