The Official “Wish Washington Well” Campaign
As requested by starz31 and some other readers, we are setting up this thread for you to leave your messages of support for Leon Washington after he suffered a terrible leg injury in Sunday’s game.

we will forward them to him at the end of the week. Please re-tweet or post this to other message boards so that we can get responses from as many Jets fans as possible.

Hope you heal quickly, Leon. I look forward to seeing you in Green-n-White for a long, long time. Speedy recovery, pal.
Get Well Soon!!!
hey leon heal fast we need you and i hope the jets take care of you money wish good luck.
Leon, you are the man! I know we’ll be seeing you score a bunch of TDS next year! Feel good!
Get better soon! We want you on this team for a long long time.
Leon – looking forward to seeing you take the 2nd half kickoff back for a TD on opening Thursday Night in 2010 (we will defer, shutout opponent in 1st half. that is why 2H KO will be his first KO return)
Leon,
Get well soon. You are in our thoughts.
Take care of your leg Leon. It’s gonna be a long season without you and big daddy Jenkins.
Leon….get well soon brother! Hope the Jets back up the Wells Fargo truck for you!
Leon: I feel for you, dude. No contract ext. and then this. Shoot, I think you have worse luck than me. Hang in there, man, you’ll be back stronger than ever, and if the Jets are to stupid to sign you long term, someone else will. Good luck, and try to enjoy the time off with your family. All the best.
Leon, have a speedy recovery, See you in 2010 better than ever!
Leon, here’s to a speedy recovery. I was at the game in Oakland. Sorry you missed the Black Hole emptying out by mid 3rd quarter!
Thanks for all your hard work and we’ll all be thrilled when you come back next year better than ever. Chin up.
Leon – I hope for the best for you and your family. Stay strong, we know you’ll be working hard to get back healthy and I know all Jets fans will be there to support you. Take care and get better!
Get better Leon!
I wish the NFL allowed you to play with crutches, cause in a few weeks even on crutches you can smoke most guys in the league.
see you next year.
speedy recovery…we will miss the excitement you bring every time you touch the ball
you”ll be back in no time don’t worry about it….mabey you”ll be back just in time to start in the afc championship game that we will most definately be in!!!
Leon,
Get well soon, best of luck in your recovery.
Hope the Jets do the right thing.
Get well soon Leon. You are my favorite Jets player and a stand up man. Stay positive and strong, Jets nation is behind you and your recovery. J!-E!-T!-S! JETS! – JETS! – JETS!
Hey Leon, keep your head up man. All the best for a fast and successful recovery. Looking forward to seeing you in a Jet uniform for years to come. Tannenbaum better pay you what you are worth. We will all miss your heart and your playmaking ability. You may want to get in touch with Curtis Martin, he’s very inspirational when it comes to dealing with adversity. Godspeed.
Leon, Jet fans love you man, we’re all pulling for you. Have a great recovery and we look forward to seeing you on the field next year doing what you do best, making big plays.
Leon,
You’re truly one of the class acts in this league and it’s a shame this had to happen to you right now. We the fans know what you mean to this team and us as a whole, and here’s hoping the front office does, too. I would wish you luck on your recovery, but for someone that works as hard as you do luck has nothing to do with it. Get well soon, and I can’t wait to see you back in action in the Green & White.
Hang it there Leon. If anyone can rehab and work their butt off to come back strong next year, it’s you. You always put the team first and the fans appreciate that. Come back strong next year and make the Jets give you that contract that we all want you to get. It’s not gonna be easy but if Willis McGahee can bounce back you can too!
Leon, get well soon. We hope your recovery goes well. I hope the front office does the right thing and pays you what you deserve so that you stay a Jet for life!
Our very best thoughts go out to you, Leon, I am sure you will be thrilling us with your speed on the field again next year.
Hey leon wassup my dude….I wish u a well and speedy recoverment just like evry other jets fan…u r 1 of my favorite jets and can’t wait to see u on the field next year….I do not want u on any other team except for the jets and I’m sure this organazation will make that come true for me and also for u…we are all pulling for u leon and love u (no homo lol)…have a healthy and speedy recoverment leon!

And get well wishes to Kris Jenkins too, we haven’t forgotten how much we will you!
Leon – Get well soon! Jet fans respect you as much as anyone on this team and we want you to stay with the team for life!
How MUCH we will MISS Kris, I meant!
Hang in there Leon! I have no doubt that you’ll be back in the green and white next year, strong as ever and ready to make an impact. We are all going to miss you until then!
Leon…you will be missed not only by your team but by your legions of fans. Know that we will be here to support and cheer you on every step of your recovery. I hope the front office takes note of how many players it takes to fill your contributions. If they do, you will get the contract you have been looking for to stay green. Beast wished for a full and speedy recovery.
Hey Leon, get well soon, mate! I’ll be looking forward to seeing you on the field again just as soon as you’re healthy.
Leon – Get healthy and then come back. I hope to see you doing your thing in the Green and White next year, and for many years to come.
Mike T – Do the right thing by Leon and the fans.
Leon,
I wish you a speedy and solid recovery. I know you’ll be working hard and getting ready for a long and productive career. Your Jets faithful are pulling for you!
Leon,
I can’t tell you how much this team is going to miss your dynamic capabilities in the back field whether it’s the screen or between the tackles. We all hope you a healthy and speedy recovery and hot Tennenbaum does the right thing, you will be a valuable asset in 2010. Get better man!
Jess Silva
Leon-
here’s to a speedy recovery for you homie. I know you gotta be thinking this is some cruel joke in light of your contract, but i think the jets know what you mean to this team. Can’t wait to see you grab a screen pass and slice up the D on opening day…
Feel better Leon!
We need your game breaking ability back ASAP!
Leon,
you are the definition of a pros pro. On and off the field, you represent what an NFL player should be. You will be missed by alot of us Jets fan who truly realize your potential as one of the most diverse weapons in all of the NFL. Just remain positive and you will be back on the field sooner than later.
stay strong,
Danny!
GET BETTER SOON!!!!!! best wishes.
leon good luck with rehab. cant wait to see you back with gang green. remember, keep your head up this is only a speed bump in your career
Leon, your one of my favorite players because you go all out on every play and put the team first. Be positive in your rehab knowing that Jets fans are eagerly waiting for your return. There’s only one Leon Washington, so if others succeed in your stead, know that your always needed in green and white. Your the pride of the Jets.

get well leon we will miss you… go jets
Leon,
I have been a big fan since you came on board; a colleague of mine is a big F.State fan; so she told me all about you even before you came to training camp. Get well!!
Unfortunate what happened to Leon, great player with alot of heart, would be nice to see him return for the end of the season if his recovery goes well. Would be an extra bonus to have him in the playoffs in the Jets make it that far. Lets go Jets!!!
;(
Get better Leon! We’re all pulling for you!
leon…youre the man!!!get well soon…we are all pullin for you
Leon,
Get well soon! We’ll all miss you, and we’re excited for you to come back better than ever!

Leon…get well soon. You are the heart and soul of this team. Work hard and maybe you will get to play in that big game at the end of the season in Miami
LEON!!!! you were my favorite thing about football on Sundays. Get well soon. Hope to see you in green and white for a long time to come.
Leon….
We Jets fans are hoping for a speedy recovery…not only beause you are a true Jet that gives max effort every game but for a good guy that every fan can want their kids to emulate.
Youre a true role model and want we to see #29 back on the field and healthy soon.
Leon – you are the heart & soul of our team. You’ll be missed, but not forgotten. Rest up, get strong and come back with an even greater determination that you already have.
We are all hoping & praying that the Jets organization will step up and do the right thing, both in supporting you & in making sure you get paid what you deserve.
Best regards from a life long Jet fan.
-Anil
Hope all goes well. As the leg heals enjoy the time with your family. Then in 12 weeks I expect you to start rehab–we need you. See you opening day in the new stadium.
Leon, you are the embodiment of a true professional and a real teammate. You put your team before yourself and that is something that fans will remember decades from now.
Get well soon! In 2010 you’ll hopefully have a championship to defend!!!
Get Well Leon. We all know as loyal Jets Fans that Woody and Mike Tannenbaum will do the right thing. We look forward to seeing you back and ready to go next season!
We love and support you Leon. Keep the faith.
Hey Leon! Get well soon. Your a huge asset to the Jets. You will be missed this season. See You next season!
Get well soon Leon!! We as Jets fan all love you for your effort and leadership on the team. You deserved to be team MVP in 07 cause of your hard work in practice and during games. You really are a one of a kind player who can change a game with 1 play. Get well soon we jet fans are looking forward to you in green & white for a long long time. Im praying for you leon good luck with the recovery we’ll be waiting for #29!!
Leon,
My brand new #29 NY Titans jersey was at the cleaners getting hemmed when you got hurt. Unfortunately, it will now remind me of this past Sunday, but I hope that moment also marks the beginning of a story with a happy ending — the Super Bowl superstar who battled back from an injury.
Next year, it’s on.
A decade of dominance awaits …
Jonathan
Leon,
Get well soon, brother! Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and wishes for a speedy recovery.
You are already a TRUE Jet.
Leon,forget your football accomplishments,which are great and many. You are a true gentleman and my entire household wishes you a speedy recovery. The entire JET nation is pulling for you
Leon – Get well soon! Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery. Looking forward to seeing you and Big Jinx back on the field next year!
Leon: We’ll miss your energy out there. Get well soon!!
Leon, you will be missed this year. Can’t wait to have you back .
Leon,
I sent the jets office an email during the preseason urging them to sign you long-term. I hope it all works out in a Jets uniform. Get well soon man.
Leon!
Get well soon, stay in shape and kick some butt next year! I’ll be wearing my #29 Jersey to support you for every game from here on out.. Hope to see you as a well paid Jet in 2010.. You can be like the Bionic Jet now. They will rebuild your leg even stronger so you can stomp all over everyone next season..
Good luck with the recovery!
“LEEEEEOOOOONNNNNN!!!!!”
I can’t tell you how many times my wife and kids have seen me leaping off the couch on a Sunday afternoon, shouting that at the top of my lungs!
I also can’t tell you how much enjoyment I’ve gotten from watching you play football for the New York Jets, the amount of joy you’ve brought me week in and week out through your amazing abilities, hard work and dedication. You are a special player, and more importantly, from what I’ve heard and read, and special person.
One of the reasons I root for you so hard — and other visitors to thejetsblog.com can attest to what a huge fan of yours I am — is that I appreciate the choices you made, such as when you were at Florida State, and rather than participate in summer practices, decided to go home and go to work to help support your family. It landed you in the coach’s doghouse, but it shows the character and type of person you truly are. As someone who had to work his way through to pay for college and help his family out, I appreciate your efforts.
In a time in sports when many athletes can hardly be considered role models, I am proud that both my sons wear #29 jerseys.
It’s also why I will be rooting for you just as hard to come back from your injury as I do for you on Sundays.
I’d say good luck for a speedy recovery, but knowing your character, dedication and hard work, luck will have nothing to do with you getting back on the field sooner rather than later. And I eagerly look forward to that day.
Thanks again and best wishes from one of your biggest fans –
Ray
Leon,
The Jets are not the same without you, you’ll be in our prayers, and next year when you come back, you’ll be better than ever. Best wishes, and get well soon.
Get well soon Leon. I hope you are back in a Jet uniform next year back to your old self
Leon, since our days together at Florida State, I’ve loved watching every minute of your play. You are an inspiration to all of us ” little people.” All Jets fans know, we need you back at full strength. I wish you all of the best to you and your family during this trying time!
Leon,
Our thoughts and prays are will you!!! We will truely miss you on our team, as part of this Jets family!! We respect your selflessness and amazing toughness you exhibit on and off the field. Get well soon… but do not rush the recovery process… you cannot afford any setbacks and the tib/fib needs to set. We all look forwrd to seeing you in the off season…
Keep you head up high and move forward
Leon,
Feel better soon bud, hope to see you scoring touchdowns for us next year! stay a Jet for life!
#29 rocks!!!!!!!
You will be missed in Miami you make all the Dolfans gasp every time you touch the ball. Take it easy, get healthy, and enjoy your family. The Jets need you back at full strength, so they can put a Super Bowl ring on your finger.
You will really be missed on Sundays, but running around is not that far away.
With the CBA and your situation know the fans have your back. You’re a big piece of this team.
Leon you are an absolute inspiration in your character on and off the field. Your hard work and perseverance are something to behold. I hope that you have a speedy recovery and get back to 100% Leon Washington status.
You’ve got a soft spot in my heart Leon, so much that I was going to name my first born after you (which would have some mix reviews) but alas I am having a girl.
PS: Tannenbaum please pay Leon, the kid deserves a contract for all that he’s laid out for the team.
Leon,
Best wishes on a full and speedy recovery. You will always have a special place in the hearts of Jet fans.
Leon,
You’re infinitely ’small’ on the field, in open spaces and eminently ‘big’ in tight places like the Jets locker room.
Your leadership and potential are immeasurably missed. You’re injury hits home to humble a football star to a mortal man in the eyes of us fans and give each of us the opportunity to rise to your fall and support you through your rehab.
Jets fans are the best and can’t find a better veteran to where green and white. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, you’r wife and new born.
Get well soon!
Dean
Hey Leon, we’ll miss the excitement you bring every time you touch the ball. Already looking forward to having you back next year. Lets go Jets.
Get well soon Leon ur a monster and i hope he gets his contract lets go LLLLLLEEEEEEOOOOOONNNNNN WASHINGTON
L-E-O-N Leon Leon Leon! Get well and get ready for 2010!
Leon,
I wish you the best man and I hope you heal up fast. You are by far my favorite player and I will still be reppin the green and white #29 jerseys along with the #3 FSU maroon! Rest up, heal, and have some fun with Noel. Next year you’ll be doin your thing better than ever!
Leon — I bought my #29 jersey right before the Pats game this year. I expect to wear it for many years to come. Get well quickly. Go Jets.
You’re my favorite player and a class act. I know you’ll make a full recovery and play better than ever.
Get well soon Leon
Your a class act Leon- Get well soon, and know that the fans appreciate what you’ve done for this team and how you’ve handled yoruself
Heal up get better so we can kick some ass next year…
Get well soon Leon. Hope you have a full and speedy recovery.. Looking forward to you coming back next year better than ever.
May you heal stronger and be faster than ever. Our Jets Crew is going to miss doing our “Leon Dance” we do everytime you score! Please come back soon so we can get our groove back on!
Godspeed!
Leon
You are one of my favorite Jets players and without you the Jets just seem different, I wish you well and hope you play for the Jets next year with a contract to your satisfaction.
nyckage
My prayers are with you. We’ll hold off on the super bowl until you get back.
Leon , can’t tell you how much of a loss I feel. As many others have stated I think you are one class individual. With your contract disputes you hung in there like a real pro. Praying for your full recovery
Get well soon Leon! We are all praying for your quick recovery! You will definitely be missed!
hey leon hope u recover well i met u at freehold mall in nj u signed a football and took a picture w/ my ten yr old son him when u got hurt he went and got the football a put it next to the tv for the rest of the day. see ya out there next year

Get well soon Leon, look forward to seeing you back out there doing what you do best and making people miss!
We still need the magic..get well and stay Green!!
Hey Leon…we’re not the same without you. Wishing you a speedy recovery, and a soon as possible return to the JETS. Keep the faith!
Leon, thanks for always giving your all, and we wish you the best for a speedy recovery. We will dedicate our Super Bowl win to you!!
Leon you are a man of great character to rival your immense talent. Here’s to hoping for a speedy recovery and a long (and well-paid) career as a Jet.
Sorry I got here late Leon, busy day. I had the same injury T.O. had in 2004 — my ankle turned so far that all my ligaments and tendons were shot, and my fibia was cracked, etc. The amount of people that came out and told me that they’d “been there” was amazing. I’m sure in your line of work they won’t be hard to find.
I know Adam Schefter said you had the same injury as T.O. but I believe that’s wrong (what else is new Adam?) — I believe yours was a break in the leg, not an extreme turn at the ankle joint. In a way, the silver lining for you is that, as you know, bones heal stronger than before, ligaments and tendons take longer.
So God speed, drink some milk, come to a game to wave hello to us fans who root hard for you guys to succeed every week, and next year, you better believe we will return the favor with a rousing ovation. I’m sure you will work hard, and it will be well deserved.
Leon,
You have been my favorite Jet since you arrived. There are few playmakers like you. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. Can’t wait to watch you tear it up next year.
Leon,
you quickly became my favorite Jet after seeing you play and showing what you can bring to the offense. it honestly breaks my heart to see you injured this season, and i wish you a quick and healthy recovery. God bless!
-Justin
Leon,
Hope all is well after a successful recovery. I will keep you in my thoughts as the season continues. Look forward to hearing about your progress, because I know soon enough you will be right back at it. Have a safe and healthly recovery! BE EASY!
-Greg
Get well Leon! See you next year.
Get well Leon!
I love to watch you play and will miss you the rest of this year!
You are and will always be a true Jet in my book. You have earned that already in your young career.
I look forward to seeing you play for many more years with the Jets… And YES, help the Jets win a Super Bowl (many Super Bowls).
I have been a Jet fan and season ticket holder since the 1970’s and I know in my heart that the Jets will take care of you with a new contract. Don’t worry… True Jet Players like you always get taken care of by the Jets.
I wish you the best Leon,
Joe S.
Leon – you are a class act. Loving a guy because he is on your team is one thing. Appreciating a guy for human qualities is another. I unofficially award you the Curtis Martin top bloke award from Sydney. Man I fully expect that these new Jets will be wanting to show you the love.
Thanks Andrew (ex New Yorker in Sydney)
Leon, thanks for being a great Jet! Get well and hopefully we’ll see you in green and white next year.
Leon,
As a bleeding green and white fan I am proud that you are a Jet. Get well soon so I can root for you next year!
Leon: As a long time Jet fan, season ticket holder since 1966, I want to let you know that you have been one of the most exciting performers the Green and White has ever seen. You are a class guy and will no doubt rebound from this injury. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Leon,
The fact that when you didnt get the contract you were looking for and still came out and played 100% didnt go unnoticed by us. Your the gamebreaking player weve needed for a while and you truly love the game. Get well soon and I hope to seen you on the Jets for the rest of your career. Get well soon!
LEON you are the man will miss you the rest of the year get well soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leon,
As a Jets fan since 1960 I see you as one of the all time great Jets.
We all look forward to seeing you resume your career and contributing to our future success.
Steve
Leon,
Since the day you have come to N.Y. you have been a breath of fresh air. You are a true game breaker & have a spot in all true Jets fans hearts. You deserve to be paid and i hope you do. You instill belief every time you touch the football & I only want you to succeed for many more years to come. I wish you all the best on your recovery and i hope you can come back in 2010 and tear it up!!!
Leon,
You are the epitome of a team player. You came out this season regardless of your contract situation and played. I thank you for that and hope that you have a healthy and speed recovery
Get Well Soon hope to see you in the Jets Uniform
hey leon, we’re all going to miss you this year, you’re the heart and soul of the team and the most exciting player i’ve ever seen in person. get well soon, we’re all hoping for a speedy recovery.
Leon.
Just wanted to send my best and hope you are back on the field before we know it getting ready for next year. Jets arent the same without you and I’m sure we will be all giving you a huge ovation opening day in 2010. Knowing your work ethic we all know you will come back stronger then ever
Eric
J E T S JETS JETS JETS
Leon,
I loved you at Florida State and always knew you’d be a star. Hope you have a quick recovery and we all can’t wait to see you back on the field. You are the man! and we all need you and want you back.
leon,
i’ve been a huge fan of yours from day 1 and i love watching you play football. you give 110% on every play and believe me the fans really appreciate your effort.
i know you will be back and better than ever but i’m sure jet fans everywhere are taking this as a time to reflect everything you’ve done for this team over the years. i think my favorite moment was in the 4th quarter on monday night football against the fins a few years back when you took what looked like a mundane screen pass in the flat and shook two dolphin defenders that had you dead to rights and ran like 60 yards to setup the winning field goal.
get well soon leon!
jeff i (section 215)
Leon, you are the New York Jets. Tannenbaum better take care of your contract, your a true player, didn’t hold out. Speedy recovery!!!
JB
Best wishes and a speedy recovery to you from the other side of the pond.
Here’s to a great 2010 season for you in Green and White.
Leon, you are a true class act. You are the epitome of what a team player and New York Jet is supposed to be. I wish you nothing but the best and a speedy recovery.
Steve
Leon – You’re an irreplaceable piece to the Jets puzzle. Speedy recovery and get well soon dude! We need you in 2010!
Leon get well soon man. I don’t think I ever seen you take a down off so I know your gonna attack this rehab like a Champ. Ill be a fan of yours no matter what happens but I know Mr. T will do the right thing by you as you have done the right thing by us.
Get well soon!
See you in 2010,
Joe from Butler
It was sad to see you go down Leon. I hope your recovery goes well, and I can’t wait to see you get back on that field next year. All the best.
You’ve been my favorite Jet for a few years now and it’s going to be tough to win without you. I hope you get healthy quick and you get the money you deserve.
We are going to miss you like crazy Leon! Good luck with the rehab, I know you will come back better than ever. Here’s hoping that you play 10 more years for the NYJ!
Leon,
A friend of mine suffered a similar injury in May and he was running again after 3 months. The quality of medical care is encouraging for any athlete nowadays and I’m sure they’ll have you back, terrin’ it up in no time.
All the best!
Hi Leon.
Sorry about your misfortune and the team’s for losing you for the rest of the season. I have heard that your guys want you in the locker room during the rest of the season: that you actually inspire them with your presence, your personality. So that’s your job for the rest of the season–support your guys for all of us, make the difference behind the scenes, out of the lights but still igniting the hearts of your teammates, and thereby, your fans.
Simply, Simon
Keep the Faith Leon.
Looking forward to seeing you back next season at what you do best.
heal quick leon! we need you back next year
You’re a and fine player and I hope you make it back in time for the Super Bowl.
Best of luck.
I think EVERYONE SHOULD WEAR A #29 to the game this Sunday! Can we start a movement?
Leon:
Hope you get better quickly, we need you next season and beyond. All the best.
Jason
Leon,
You exemplify everything a true professional is. Just keep on doing what you do and the rest will fall into place. Looking forward to a kick ass 2011.
Leon,
You are a true class act and I hope you are rewarded for it next year and eventually retire a Jet. Get well soon and keep your head up.
Leon, I just want to give you a shout and wish you the best for a speedy recovery. I was fortunate enough to meet you in the summer of 2007 for about 5 minutes at an event, the only time I ever met a Jets player and it was a great moment for me as a fan. We’ll miss you on the field this year but know you’ll be back to your scintillating style next year.
LEON!! your the most explosive and exciting player in the NFL. we all love you and wish you a speedy and healthy recovery!!
Leon, I’m truly gonna miss watching you this season. You are one of my favorite Jets players of all time. All us Jet fans are pulling for you, and if ownership knows what they are doing, they will give you a nice contract to keep you with us for a very long time. Get better soon! See you in 2010
best wishes leon from a lifelong jets fan. we are all pulling for you and sundays will be less exciting without you. all hoping to see you in green and white next year.
Leon,
I’d say stay strong, but I know you will just from your outstanding character. You will be missed, but not forgotten this year. Can’t wait to see you slicing through defenses again next year. Management better sign you long-term. I want you to be a lifetime Jet.
Leon… you are by far my favorite Jets player and pleasure to listen to when you call into the WFAN. I hope you have a super speedy recovery! BEST OF LUCK
29
Get well soon man! You will be missed.
Hopefully the front office is smart and locks you up long term.
Get healed up for next year Leon, My son and I want to see you for years to come playing for the Jets.
Leon,
I appreciate your greatness.
Feel better soon.
Leon, a player and person like yourself does not deserve this type of injury, but a player and person like yourself is the type that can come back better than you were prior to it. You’re a class act and as a Jets fan, I am blessed to be able to root for an athlete such as yourself. Good luck in your recovery!
Leon your a big part of the Jets soul so you need to let the leg heal then get back to working it out. See you again soon buddy.
Leon
We need you to get better and good luck with your recovery. Hope to see #29 next year and for many years to come. I wanna see that Number retired next to Klecko and Namath.
Good Luck
Pin
All the best to a man who has played very well for us.
Leon,
I wish you a speedy recovery, just as fast as you are. Don’t lose your faith in God and always remember:
“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength”.
Philippians 4:13
Leon hope you get better and dont lose a step man!
Here’s to hoping you get the contract you rightfully deserve.
Neon Leon, we are all behind you baby. Please stay a Jet 4 ever.
Stay strong and heal up Leon. I hope you spend the many years left in your career in the green and white. Can’t wait for you to come back and be that dynamic, game-breaker that you’ve always been, and to hit Channing Crowder so hard he folds up like a freakin garment bag!!!
Leon, I’m hoping you get well soon and get back on the field as soon as possible! And don’t worry, I know Mike Tannenbaum will take care of you and you will get the contract you deserve next year!
Leon
You a class act in every sense of the word and also one of the most exciting athletes I have ever seen, hands down. I want to personally thank you for being a truly great Jet and everything you have done for this team.
I hope you are feeling better and I can’t wait until you are back running wild next year and for years to come. We are all behind you and would love for you to be the last guy that ever wears “29″ for the NY Jets.
Keep fighting Two Nine- all the best bro
leon…
have a healthy speedy recovery bro…and after you heal completely…stretch those legs and hips out…so when you return you can rip it into every1 you face next year bro…as a JET ofcourse…peace…just my thoughts…
Leon i wish you all the best in your recovery. on sundays after our defense gives up points there’s always the excitement that you will bring the kickoff back to the house and many times you have done that in your career. unfortunately that excitement will be gone for this year but i expect you to be back next year and better than ever.
Leon:
You were, are and will be the spark that gets this team going when they need to take it into a higher gear. Be patient while healing and then take it to another level when they give you the green light.
When you come back, they won’t need fiveother guys anymore, because that is what they will need to fill the roles you played. KR, PR, Seminole, Scat Back and Half Back.
Hey Leon, get better soon man. You are by far my favorite player, so much so that I bought your jersey on Monday because I know you’re going to be a great Jet for a long time.
Leon, get well soon man your spark and talent will be sorely missed for the rest of this year. Rest up and take your time healing so you can play another 10 years in green and white, and get ready to sign that huge deal this off season !! Looking forward to seeing 29 back in action next year!
p.s. way to lay the wood on crowder on monday night! that hit was UNREAL.
Leon:
You will be missed on the field, and by us in the stands. We can’t wait for the Jets to get smart, pay you your money, and return to dominating the NFL in 2010.
- Kevin
dude you are a beast!
Get well soon
We and my son Justin met you again at Chri’’s wedding and you and him were talking about Tallahassee and the coming year. We’ll my friend there are many years to come you’re still at the Door of Greatness and that day will come for you to walk or rather run thru it to YOUR DESTINY!!!
YOU & CHARITY AND THE FAMILY
GOD BLESS YOU AND SPEEDY RECOVERY
(PS I KNEW FROM WATCHING YOU IN COLLEGE THE TYPE OF PLAYER THE JETS WERE GETTING)
Hey Leon!
Just keep your head up, the rehab will be hard but you know the Jets fans like myself and many of these guys will have you in our thoughts and will be pulling for you.
Rest up man you got a lot of football left in ya!
Andrew
Dear Leon,
get well, get healthy, come back stronger, quicker and more dynamic than ever! We love you, Leon, I don’t think there’s another player on this, our team, who commands more respect than you.
Thank you for your team-first mentality, your tremendous work ethic, your leadership on and off the field. I wish I were 30 years younger; I’d block for you and kick the snot out of anybody that got in my way.
God Bless,
JR / the Iron Marshal

leon,
love ya man i know you will get through this FEEL BETTER
GO JETS!
Can’t wait to chant your name again on kickoffs, Leon.
Get well soon Leon, best wishes along the way. You deserve the best
Take your time and heal well. I hope to see you running for the Jets for many years to come.
Hey Leon, Get well soon man, we need u 4 next year!!!
Ur the man!!!!!!!
He’s always a pleasure to speak to in the locker room. I remember when I first met him he said to me “Are you the media version of me?” Acknowledging the fact that I was the shortest writer in the locker on most days and he being about my height; and I said “Well, if I can lead the league in all purpose yards, I will be able to say no one day.” He laughed and took my questions. I can say with confidence, he’ll be back better than ever next season, CBA willing.
LW!!! Yo are a serious STUD & we MISS YOU BAD. Get that busted wing fixed soon so you can start flying down the sideline again. I’m a Jet fan for over 30 years & your class & leadership make you one of my all time favorites.
Hi Leon,
If your reading this blog, then I’m sure you know your well loved by the fan base here in the NY area.
To sum up everyone here….We wish you a speedy recovery and we are looking forward to seeing you by year end! Might as well take advantage of the time off and enjoy the up coming holiday season with the family!!
Oh on a side note….If there is a way for us to help you get a new contract for all that you have done thus far, we will find it make it happen!!!
JF4L
Hey Leon – get better soon man…we miss you and love you
Hey Leon may God bless you and your family during this difficult time. You are truly one of the most popular players on this team and hope you realize how much people really care about you. I believe in my heart you will make a full recovery and someday lead us to a championship! You are truly one of the good guys in the league and I wish you nothing but the best. Can’t wait to see you again returning kicks and scoring TD’s for many years to come. Go Leon Go Jets!!!!!!
Leon,just wanted to thank you for your HARD WORK and LOYALTY to this team. I think I speak for the rest of us here in wishing you a SAFE and SPEEDY recovery. Stay positive!
Get well Leon! Can’t wait to see you on the field again running away from defenders while wearing #29 for the New York Jets.
Leon,
You are a superb talent and a great individual. Time will fly and, before you know it, you will be back on the field making opposing players look foolish. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hey Leon
I met you at a JetsRookie Fan night and you showed me how to catch punts from the machine….everyone in our group came away so impressed with you and what a thoughtful respectful fine man you are…..My whole family has been Jet fans for many years and we all were upset when you got hurt….we wish you all the best and will pray for your speedy and full recovery……just one thing, I think you should change agents….this guy doesn’t fit the type of man you are…..
Get well soon….Jerry L
Leon,
You are the jets single best playmaker in multiple aspects of the game. Dont let Tannenbaum get you down about the contract man, you’ll get the money you deserve in the end.
Speedy recovery

Leon – If ever there were a Jet player that all Jet fans could root for, it’d be you. Our hearts collectively broke when we saw you go down. You’re one of the most dynamic, exciting, talented, hard-working players we Jet fans have ever been blessed to root for, and we can’t wait to see you come back to play for us again, stronger than ever. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, you’re in ALL of our thoughts and prayers. Hopefully we’ll be able to make a successful season of it this year, but even if we do, it won’t be the same without you. Get better Leon, we can’t wait to see you in 2010!!!
Leon you are the man. I hate it that you got hurt. We can’t run the Seminole without you. Rehab will be a @#$%^, but I know if anybody can come back from this it will be you. My wife and I will have you in our thoughts. Get well soon.
go Leonnnn!!!!
go JETS!!!
Best wishes Leon for a speedy recovery. You have certainly been a bright and shining star for the green and white. Looking forward to many more years of your efforts and great plays.
Get well soon, Leon. My thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery for you and Chris Jenkins
We love you Leon, my favorite player…
Get well soon, Leon. I sit in the endzone and your returns and scores electrify my section. I can’t wait to get you back.
Leon — you get well soon! Jets need ya!
Have a speedy recovery, Leon! We’ll miss seeing you take it to the house the rest of the way, but I can’t wait to see you back next year, better than ever I’m sure.
Leon,
It sucks that you got injured the way you did but you’ll be back taking those kickoffs and handoffs to theendzone next year.
Jets fans love you hope you have a speedy recovery.
Get well Leon -
Make a speedy and full recovery cause i see you being a part of something special next season.
Leon – best wishes for a speedy recovery and rehab. No doubt that is going to suck, but hopefully knowing you have an army of green and white fans behind you will help. This team will not be the same without you.
Brian311
Leon – get well, be well, it’s all good. The fans are here for you as you’ve been here for us. See you on the field next year.
Leon,
I wish you a speedy and full recovery bro. I’m a big fan and was devastated to see you go down last week. Keep your head up and get back on that field where you belong.
Sincerely,
Rich (the guy who starts the leon chant when you return kicks at home)
Leon,
Best wishes man. I was heartbroken this weekend watching you get hurt. You were literally the last man on the roster I would have wanted to see that happen to.
Good luck in having a speedy recovery, and I can’t wait to see #29 darting up the field again.
Matt

Leon,
I am a long time FSU fan (40 + years) and a recent NY Jets fan (when you got there). You are a great guy and a terffific representative of FSU. Take it easy, listen to the doctors and get well soon. We will be rooting for you next year, you have a long career ahead of you so don’t get anxious. I just realized this and I’m sure you do already but if you rearrange the letters in your name it spells NOLE. Love you my favorite NOLE.
stay up my man. go noles!!!!
Get Well soon Leon. God Bless.
I followed your whole career threw your time in HS at FSU and with my NY Jets. Your My favorite nole of all time. There are alot of Noles out their praying for you that make a speedy recovery.
I met you and Booker after the 2005 Orange bowl against PSU. We talked for about 5 minutes about ball and I took some pictures with you and my wife. Was one of the best times in my life meeting you, and the other Noles that day even though we lost. My wife was like who was that nice uy we got a picture with I said thats my boy Leon Washington. I told here that you were a great Football player but a better person. I hope one day my son becomes like you.
God Bless,
Go Noles
Leon,
Get well soon. It is great to see a former Nole doing well in the NFL…You are a postive force for Seminole and Jet fans.
Leon–
Get well soon, everyone in the SEMINOLE NATION is praying for you. Have a speedy recovery. We cannot wait to see you on the field again.
Get well soon. Go Noles!

Favorite Nole ever!!
Get well soon!!!! I predict that you’ll be better than ever next season!!!!!
Best wishes Leon.
Wishing a sucessful and speedy recovery to Leon Washington.Loved watching you play on Saturdays, and I’m proud to watch play on Sundays.
Mr. Football; Great Nole. The whole tribe is praying for your quick recovery. And did I mention, as a native of Jacksonville, all the folks from the First Coast and the Gateway City send their best to their native son from Andrew Jackson High. If you never play another down of football, you are a cherished member of the tribe, and you are Unconquered. Go Nole!
Leon: Never will forget your freshman game against the gators (never capitalize the word gator). Rehab with passion. You’ll be back better than ever. As a tax accountant and investment advisor, I can’t over emphesize the importance of saving at least 10 percent of what you make. The money you put away now, will make you rich later. The best to a great ‘Nole.
Noles are thinking of ya bud…see you back on field soon.
Go Noles,
-Bill
Leon: You’re the man! get well buddy and put in the tape of the nc state/fsu 2004 game this weekend for old memories. best game i was at in my four years at fsu. hope to see you at showtime next year buddy.

I know that with your heart and the quality of medicine that you will have access to you will be back on your horse before you know it. Unfortunatly, I will have to move you to my IR spot in my fantasy league. You were balling bro.
Get will Leon, from one ‘Nole to another.

Leon,

Get well Leon. Keep doing FSU proud!!
It has to be disheartening for a warrior such as you to have to sit on the sidelines, but keep your faith and you’ll be back on the field before you know it. Here’s hope for a swift recovery, and thanks for being a ‘Nole. You will always be remember by Seminoles as a quality player and person.
Sorry to hear about your injury man. Hope you get well soon!!! Take care and god bless!
Leon, the Jets lost a god. Heal up well and we’ll see you on the field next year!
its been great watching you play. you were one of the few bright spots during bad years and bad games. just from watching you play i know youll easily fight back to where you were before prly better. ant wait till then.
P.S. make sure you give justin miller some advice on kick returning hes got some big shoes to fill.
Leon, get well soon man and here to a speedy recovery. God bless you and Seminole Nation is behind you and pulling for you!
Get well soon Leon!!! Will miss watching you play the rest of the season.
Get well Leon! I cannot wait to see you bounce one to the outside next year. Doctors know best. This will be another chapter of Leon vs The World and I can’t wait for the next one… Vindication.
Leon – Get Well Soon! You’re class act and an awesome athlete and I’m sure you’ll be back to 100% by next season. I just had both my knees relaced last year and am already back hacking away on the golf course – rehab sucks but hard work defintiely shows results.
Leon, we miss hearing the announcer say “Leon Warshington on the carry”. The Seminole Nation loves you!! Get well soon and continue to make us proud!
Get well soon Leon! One of my all time favorite Noles. I look forward to seeing the most dangerous back in the league shred defenses again next season.
Leon,
Huge fan and couldn’t be happier to see the success you are having in the league. Life long Seminole and because of you now a Jet fan. Hope you get well soon and get back to making those defenses of the rest of the NFL look bad. You are the MAN!!!
Leon, get well soon man, just take your time healing your leg so you could come back 100% next year. The Jets need ya buddy! I remember that Christmas game against the Dolphins a few games back, best game I ever went to because of you. Get well soon man!!!
Leon,
Hope you come back better then ever. Here’s to a fast recovery. We’ll see you next year.
You have given blood, sweat and tears for this team and for that I respect you as a player. For being an outstanding person I respect you for a man. Get well soon, and I can’t wait to see you taring it up again for Green and White.
Best of luck with the healing process. We fans cant wait to see you back on the field in 2010. And hopefully with a new contract to keep you in Green & White… Keep us all updated with your rehab… Thanks for all of your effort…
Leon:
You might not be the biggest guy on the team, but you’re a GIANT in the minds of us JETS’ fans because of your huge heart.
Before you played a single down for the JETS, I read about how hard you had to work while in college playing at a top D-IA program, in order to help your family get by.
I was praying that the JETS would take care of you financially for your sake, and also lock you up to a big contract long-term for us fans! I will be all over the organization if they don’t do right by you.
Anyway, while this might serve to DELAY the big pay-day you deserve, I have 10000% confidence that with your heart, you will come back even better than before (if that is humanely possible), and you’ll get it some day.
I wish you and your family and your friends the best, as I’m guessing it took a great group of people around you to mold you into the great role model that you are. Aside from your ridiculous ability on the field, fans love you because you also seem like an awesome dude.
BEST OF LUCK FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY!!!
Get well soon Leon!
Leon,
You are one classy person and will be missed. I know you will heal well and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Get well Leon! You are one of the greatest to ever suit up in the garnet and gold. So much heart! It’s been exciting to see you doing big things in the league in the green and white. keep your head up man, lots of folks pulling for ya.
P.S loved seeing you put that block on crowder!
FSU=Family
Leon,
Just wanted to let you know how much we fans appreciate all your contributions to the team, not just on the field. Be strong; we are with you, brother.
Marty
Leon: As much as we thrill to your exploits on the field, you are also impressive with how you carry yourself off the field.
You are a true gentleman of sport. You are what defines the word: Hero.
We will carry on for a bit until your return to the field but, hopefully, you and Jinx will join your mates on the sidelines and inspire them, since you two are integral parts of this team. And they/we still need you, even if you are banged up.
See you soon!
Dear Leon and Family:
We are with you 110% as you recovery from your injury. You are a man of courage, fortitude and engery. You are one class act. It is your focus, determination and love of the sport and family that will guide you through this journey.
Stay focused, and strong as you have many, many years to look forward to of the game and of life!
Our thoughts, prayers and well wishes are for a speedy recovery!

You’re an absolute force to be reckoned with and it made me so happy to hear Jon Gruden say those great things about you during the MNF game earlier this year. Hoping for a fast and speedy recovery that leaves you back at 100%.
Go Noles!
Leon,
My children – big fans of yours – and I want to wish you the best in your recovery from your unfortunate injury. We look forward to your being out on the field next year, taking the next step in a Hall of Fame career! Feel better, and you’re in our thoughts and prayers!
Cheers,

Leon,
You’re one of the most exciting players I’ve ever watched in 30 years of following football. You’re an essential part of the Jets, and one of the bright spots in the NFL. If anyone can come back from a broken leg, I know it’s you. Best of luck and a speedy recovery. I know everything will work out for the best for you in the end.
Keep on workin’ bro. We’re all praying for you.
Leon,
We have enjoyed watching you on sundays and wish you a quick recovery…
You told Clowney to keep his head up and keep grindin so I will tell you to do the same. Your one of the best in the NFL and everyone will be questioning you next year…”will he be the same Leon….” and all that junk…you have to use that in your rehab sessions and training in the winter/spring…USE IT TO FUEL THE RETURN!!! Good luck man…we are behind ya!
Years ago a friend of mine Tyrone Moss who was a RB for the University of Miami was playing Florida state in Tally and I drove like 7 hours to see him run all over FSU and I watched the game and was disapointed because a man named Leon Washington was running game on UM and FSU ended up winning and I was angry but amazed in what I saw Mr. Washington do .. I was mad but at the same time in joy because I just became a fan … Summer passed and here comes the NFL draft … Second day of the draft i’m watching tv and my New York Jets select Leon Washington .. Man was I jumping for joy ! Happy wasn’t even the word ! I’ve watched tape on you from FSU till now and when I see u play Im my feet waiting for you to take it to the house …. Your a special talent and u have a special work ethic .. What you have done for Jets fans nobody could explain .. Your and icon and I’m glad u play for my favorite team . I hope the best for you and ur recovery and I hope you and the Jets can agree on a contract that’s more then fair on your part so you can retire a JET … My prayers are with you and I will be counting down the days until I see my idol Leon Washington step on the field … See you soon !
Hey Leon,
Hope you get well soon! Im always rooting for you and wear your jersey every sunday! youre my favorite player as ive told you before running into you at the freehold mall with your family and at Charlie Browns in Chatham. I wish you all the best in your recovery and will be waiting to see on the field again. Best wishes to you and your family xoxo
Get well Leon. All of Seminole Nation is pulling for you! Can’t wait to watch you again on Sunday next year.
Leon,
Just want to wish you a speedy recovery. You are one of my favorite noles of all time. I was there when you beat NC State in overtime. Loved it.
Thanks for being a stand up human, and a fantastic player for the Jets! You deserve better and hope this works out well for you. Your a class act and I’m proud to to put you in the same conversation as Curtis Martin.
Get well soon Leon. Can’t wait til we get you back next year. Go Jets.
You’re one of the most dynamic individuals in the NFL. Here is to a speedy recovery and the hopes that you will get your shot at being “the man” whether with the jets or another team!
Go NOLES!
Hey man I got the exact injury you received playing rugby three weeks ago. I’m already able to put some weight on it, so hang in there you’ll be fine to continue your career as the playmaker in our offense.
Leon;
You are one of my favorite Noles of all time. Charlie Ward, Warrick Dunn, Derrick Brooks, Marvin Jones, Sam Cowart, Greg Jones, T-Buck and Neon. Not to be confused with Leon! When you came to FSU, I knew your vision, quickness and strength would make you a great back. I labeled you “Brother Leon” because I thought you ran with the Lord in your heart! Sorry FSU did not know how to run the ball and basically screwed you out of first round money. I always knew you would tear it up in the NFL. I remember your elbow injury that you came back from. The good thing about a broken bone is it will heal solid over time. Once you tear a knee ligament it can be tricky. Take it easy. I know you will come back. If Cadillac Williams came back from TWO patella tendon tears, you will be better than ever.
Go Noles, go Jets and God bless
Leon,
quite simply your my hero. I know that you will come back stronger than ever to become one of the best jets to ever play the game. god bless
Good luck with your recovery, you’ll come back better than ever !
Wishing you the best. Heal quickly and come back strong.
Get well quickly. You have yet to reach your peak. I will enjoy watching you for years. Big ups from South Florida
You’re a great player and a class act. Best of luck towards a speedy recovery.
Leon,
Wish you a speedy recovery and hope you cash in on a nice contract!
Best wishes!
Patrick
Loved watching you when I was at FSU (especially the gator bowl when you OWNED west virginia) and have enjoyed watching you tear it up in NY. Get well soon buddy, best of luck in the recovery process.
Leon, best wishes for a speedy recovery. You are one of the greatest Noles of all time, and on your way to achieving similar status with the Jets.
Get well soon, sign a big contract, and take good care of your money. You ‘da man!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Leon,
I was devastated when I saw the Jets game and saw you get injured., I know the team and all Jets fans will miss you including me. You’re one of my favorite players. I saw you when you came to Freehold Mall in Freehold, NJ. It was the first time I saw a Jets player in person. It was one of the best moments in my life. I look forward to cheering you on next season. and watching you return kickoffs for touchdowns.Get well soon Leon
Leon :
You will recover from this and fulfill your destiny.
You are one of the brightest stars in the galaxy that is Florida State football. We are proud you chose to wear the Garnet and Gold.
Regards,
JHL III
Leon,
My dad is an orthopedic surgeon and is confident that you’ll return at 100%. You’re my favorite player, and my little brother looks up to you like a hero.
Stay strong. Fight hard.
Best,

From one J-ville native and FSU alumni to another…..stick to the rehab and I look forward to seeing you back on the gridiron. Thanks for representing FSU in the league. Your hard work is paying off!
Get well Leon. Was at FSU during your career there and have always thought highly of you. Good luck and all of us Noles are thinking of you..
get well soon Leon, go noles!
You may be a Jet(I;m a Dolphin fan), but you’ll always be a Seminole! Get well! You are a stud and a great example of what Seminoles strive to be.
Get Well Leon from an FSU Seminole Fan!
I am also a Patriot fan, so I naturally don’t like the jets, but I root hard for you. Get better soon. Go Noles & Go Pats!
Ni Zhen Bang (Chinese for you’re great)!

Get well soon Leon
Go Noles >>=====;;;;>>
All the best, Leon. Heal fast and get back to the field as soon as possible. Won’t be the same until you return.
Leon,
I’ve been watching the Jets my entire life, players have come and gone, good ones and bad ones, but I have never been this upset about one of my players going down. You are a true inspiration. All of my brothers wear your jersey as they chant your name while you take kickoffs at the meadowlands. My mother screams your name during games, hoping that you will hear her. You are extremely important to all of us.
My best friend is a die hard Florida State fan, and the day the Jets drafted you he called me right away to tell me what a special player the Jets just got. From that day on you have done nothing but impress me, not only by what you do on the field, but also by the way you carry yourself off the field. I truly hope you read all of these posts so you can see how much Jet fans love you and care about you, and so you know what type of an impact you have on the fans. This is my 3rd time posting, but I cant tell you enough how much we care about you and how we’re all pulling for you to recover from this minor setback. The Jets could never be the same without you and I cant wait to see you back out there. Best of luck Leon, we’re all rooting for you.
-Mike from Long Island
Gonna miss watching #29 tearing it up every week…. Please get well soon you will be missed
Leon…all the best. Need you back. You are truly one of the smartest guys to play this game.
Leon,
Get well soon. As a Nole fan I am so proud of your accomplishments with the Jets. Your heroics have been many, but the one that stands out in my mind was when the Noles were in Syracuse and on the brink of being upset when you took the game on your back and almost single-handedly led us to victory. Thanks!
Leon,
Buddy! How we miss you at FSU! Still remember you bringing us back all by yourself when we couldn’t get it going against Syracuse. We love watching you in the NFL and can’t wait for you to get back out there. Get well soon!

Dear Leon,
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I’ve been following the Seminoles since 1974 and you have always been a bright shining light. Thank you for being a class act on and off the field. The City of Jacksonville and Seminole Nation love you and are so proud of you. One of my favorite memories was you running against West Virginia in the Gator Bowl – what a homecoming! Get well soon.
Sincerely,
Deb Billard
Get well soon Leon, prayers out to you and your family.
Go Noles
I’ve had a blast watching you for a long time, including how you ran wild over West Virginia in the Gator Bowl, and on into the NFL.
Proud to have gone to the same university as you, my friend! Get well soon, and GO NOLES!
Hang in there, Leon! You’ll come back better than ever, and that’s saying a lot.
Maybe when you’re up to it you can come down to Tallahassee and let this year’s RBs get a thrill from hanging around with (and maybe get some tips from) a big-time NFL player!
You’ll always be part of the FSU family, and a great one!
Leon,
Get Well, Nole!
Get well Leon and keep your head up. Your the man!
GO NOLES!
Get well ASAP Leon! Nole Nation is praying for you!!!
