In alphabetical order:
Tanard Jackson

Jim Leonhard
Gibril Wilson There are lots of factors that go into a decision to sign a free agent to a long-term deal including age, injury history, injury status, "off-field issues", clubhouse leadership, and more.
Nevertheless, a prime factor has to be "on field competence". Translation: Can he play well?
So, is Laron Landry the best safety on that list of four simply in terms of his play on the field? I would suggest he is NOT. My order would be:
1. Leonhard
2. Wilson
3. Landry
4. Jackson FWIW... |
I don't personally feel that Jim Leonhard is a better safety than LaRon Landry, but the only list where Gibril Wilson is a better safety than Landry is one where we are purely guessing on the order. There are no actual football grounds for that evaluation.
