Colts' LB Darius (Shaq) Leonard released

[davey999]

I know what you're thinking. We like our guys.

 

[Risen Star]

What a fall he's taken. He was one of the best defensive players in the league not long ago.

 

[John813]

Is this from all the injuries lately?
Or from the coaching staff moving on?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

He has to be injured or something no way that happens otherwise

 

[davey999]

I guarantee the Eagles look into it.

 

[IAmLegend]

Dude fell off a cliff. Was considered one of the best LB's in the game just 3-4 years ago.

 

[punit328]

he would probably be scooped up before us anyway

[cowboys5xsbs]

I don't see him getting past Chicago honestly maybe in Carolina takes him

 

[Praxit]

...we could use this guy.

 

[DoctorChicken]

I’d sign him in a heartbeat. He was so good his first two seasons.

Maybe Quinn is what he needs.

 

[IAmLegend]

Someone will take a swing and claim him off waivers. He’s been pretty unproductive and injury prone the past 2 years though. He said so himself that his injury changed him forever.

He’s been pretty open about struggling with mental health issues too, so can’t help but think that has something to do with his production falling off a cliff.

 

[Plankton]

If his neck checks out, he would definitely be a guy to grab. Having three LBs that have neck issues is not a good roster building method, TBH.

 

[Tabascocat]

He hasn’t been the same since his injury. He even said it himself, that he was afraid of making contact. That isn’t going to work out for a linebacker.

 

[Carson]

I don't see him getting past Chicago honestly maybe in Carolina takes him

Those cap hits make it difficult to take on

Please answer this: Does he have to sign with the first offer or can he negotiate his way up the food chain? Meaning, if Dallas reaches out to his agent and is willing to pay more, can he hold out until it's Dallas' turn?

Lol

No he can't he has to go to who claims him

 

[jujoboys]

Any team that makes a waiver claim will still owe him $6.5 million this year. Base salary is $13.6 million in 2024, $14.8 million in 2025, and $19.2 million in 2026 with 2024, 2025, and 2026 not guaranteed. Missed 14 games last year but only 1 game missed this year.

The only way I think Dallas would consider this is if he passed through waivers without a claim and we were able to sign him a lot cheaper.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Is he the guy with ONE arm the Seahawks drafted?

If so...maybe the Chiefs should consider signing him and converting him to WR.

(Hehehehehehe....that was funny)
