I don't think anyone is suggesting that Leonard will be our starter anytime soon. At least I'm certainly not. I'm just giving credit where credit is due, b/c he played great. Granted it was against backups on a presumably bad D, but you have to remember he was playing with backups as well.

And speaking of playing great Treadwell was awesome yesterday. Would love to see us find a way to keep him, but realistically speaking I'm sure he'll get caught up in a numbers game and played well enough to be signed to the 53 on another team.

Yeah, Leonard was impressive. Hell of a lot better than Bean.

Treadwell is a guy who always seems to make plays when he’s in there but can never really stick for whatever reason. He’s a good guy to have around as a backup.

Agree, but unless we keep 7 WRs we're going to have to release him. So unless we have a surprise cut the only way we keep him is if we're able to sign him to the PS, but after the day he had yesterday I highly doubt that no one picks him up.

If a team's WR room has been decimated by injuries, yeah, some team could pick him up. But I don't see many teams rushing to sign him to their active roster...at least not at the beginning of the season. I think most would rather let him sign back with the Colts practice squad (assuming he wants to sign with the Colts practice squad and not another team's PS) and if injuries happen later, any team could always poach him from the practice squad if he is still there.

I hope you're right and we can sign him to the PS, but I'm sure someone thin at WR (Tits, 9ers as discussed, etc.) will pick him up.

I know it was against 3rd and 4th string guys, but the talent is there...Riley Leonard impressed me. It wouldn't be the first time a QB picked in the later rounds turned out to be a great player! I hope the Colts don't give him away!
