    When Rex Ryan arrived with the Jets in 2009 he brought safety Jim Leonhard with him from Baltimore to be the quarterback of the defense. Now, Ryan has decided to move on without him. The Jets have ruled out re-signing the popular Leonard at the current time, a source confirmed. There is a slim chance the team would sign him down the road if they suffer injuries at the safety position. The 29-year-old Leonhard was a crucial part of Ryan’s defense for three seasons with the Jets, but he suffered two season-ending knee injuries the last two years.
