FOX's Jay Glazer joined the show to talk about Matt Leinart trade rumors.

Glazer said he got calls from teams asking about Leinart's character. Glazer said that he worked out with Leinart in MMA and teams thought he knew the QB's character.

Glazer said he subsequently texted with Leinart. "I told Leinart. He didn't know," Glazer said.

Glazer asked Leinart if he'd be a backup. Glazer said that Leinart doesn't want to be backup and texted this: "He's done enough in this league ... he wants to be a starter somewhere."

Glazer explained that Leinart didn't sling the rock when he was out there in preseason -- he was being too careful. And there were always problems with the coach. "He and Ken Whisenhunt, they just never clicked," Glazer said.
