Still doesn't help in the availability department, but...
7 games in 2011
2 games in 2012
11 games in 2013
1 game in 2014
2 games in 2015
All while under contract with the Bengals. Then...
4 games in 2016 while under contract with the Giants
The 7 games missed in 2017 (49ers) were while he was a free agent
6 games in 2017 while under contract with the Raiders (IR'd with a back issue)
So only 7 of the 40 games missed were because he was a free agent. Either way, Joseph has played well enough to not worry about free agency, while Leon has barely been hanging on. I like Leon. I've called for us to sign him this year...but JJo was the better player.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
