Leach staying put
ESPN.com - NFL - Texans match Giants' offer sheet for fullback Leach
Quote:
Moving to keep an important lead-blocker, the Houston Texans on Friday afternoon matched the restricted free agent offer sheet that three-year veteran fullback Vonta Leach signed with the New York Giants earlier this week.
The Texans had until Monday to match the four-year offer sheet, which is worth a total of $8 million and includes $1.6 million in guarantees.
By matching the offer sheet, the Texans assumed the terms of the deal that the Giants negotiated with Leach.
If the Texans had declined to match the offer sheet, Leach would have moved on to the Giants. Because he entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2004, and Houston made Leach the lowest qualifying offer for a restricted free agent, a one-year deal for $850,000, the Texans would have received no compensation from the Giants if they hadn't matched.
