It will be a major upset if former Ravens FB Vonta Leach winds up anywhere other than Miami. Dolphins want him too much.

Leach would be a huge upgrade for all teams in the running attack. He is the best blocking fullback in the business.
The Houston Texans are also interesting in his services. If no teams blow Leach away with an offer, then the Baltimore ravens could sneak their way back into the bidding.
The Ravens wanted to restructure his deal, but when he wasn’t on board they released him. The Ravens have moved to a more pass happy offense and Leach didn’t fit into the system as well as he used to.
If the Dolphins were able to bring in Leach, that would give Lamar Miller more room to run the football. He could be an option for fantasy football owners out there.
Whoever picks up the fullback will get a steal of a deal. He will be a leader in the locker room and be a tough player on the field. Would be a great pickup for the Dolphins.
