Curious... has he played at all this year? Is he in a position to play immediately and if not, does anyone know his timeline on hitting the field? Just guaging his impact.
6 more games, he's ready.

lol…you have no idea why he left without a deal. He could be a capable player that is just weighing his options, or he could be a broken player they didn’t want. Or it could be just money…but stop pretending that you know
I was talking about the Colts.

This is the first time he's been a free agent and has a choice in the matter.

Personally, I wouldn't agree to take a job after 1 interview if I knew there were multiple places interested in me without hearing what the other company was offering and getting a feel for it. Perhaps thats whats happening here and we shouldn't read much into it at this point.

He has 65 tackles. I don’t think he played their last game before he was cut

For all of those people saying this is about salary it isn't. Leonard had a guaranteed salary for 2023 when he was cut by the Colts. Meaning that the only way he would make more money is if a team paid him in excess of the $6 million that was left on his guaranteed contract with the Colts for the remainder of the 2023 season. He is guaranteed $6 million regardless so if Dallas was only offering $1 million then he would end up getting $1 million from Dallas and $5 million from the Colts or if Dallas offered $3 million then he would get $3 million from the Colts. The only way money comes into play is if a team offered him more than the $6 million to play the next 6 games or if some team offered him an extended contract. Him not signing with Dallas comes down to one of two things.

1) Dallas didn't think he was healthy

or

2) he wanted to explore playing for other teams - doesn't mean he won't eventually choose Dallas

Money most likely won't be the motivation for where he signs unless some team gets stupid and throws ridiculous money at him.
this 100%

Better get ready to play him next week. Looks like Cunningham may miss time and Leonard is a serious option

The same that complain that we didn't sign him, would complain if we had. Loser mentality....
