Cowboys still waiting on Leonard

[Risen Star]

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on @1053thefan on free agent LB Shaq Leonard: "We just have no idea right now. It's a work in progress. We'll see. ... There hasn't been a lot of back and forth. We had a great visit. Kind of laid everything out for him, our vision for him and how he could help us win a championship. I think he enjoyed his visit here. But obviously there is more than us involved here, we'll just have to see."

Crap or get off the toilet.

Nobody turns down the Dallas Cowboys. Nobody!

Sounds encouraging if you wanted him to go to PHI. If you wanted him to come here, then the fact it's revealed there's been little contact with DAL suggests strongly that there is contact with PHI, and perhaps a 3rd team.

 

[Risen Star]

Our season hangs in the balance.

 

[Gambit]

Should we insert nail biting emojis at this point, or too early?

Asking for the anxious fans on here.

 

[MRV52]

At this point who cares. Just another OBJ distraction. We have business to carry out, to kick the crap out of the Eagles on Sunday.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Probably his agent telling him to wait and see if another team wants to suddenly jump in with a better offer. Which is doubtful.

Either way it doesn't sound like the Cowboys are sweating over this, and nor should any fans. He'd be a nice addition but he's not the Shaq Leonard we remember.

Philly's head coach claims he's had several discussions with him after the visit.

....Stay tuned Bat friends:

Done with this. Let him go to Philly to play for the vaunted Desai defense vs. Quinn’s defense.

The cynicism is appreciated, @Risen Star ... or at least as much as it as it always is.

But/and talk to me when the season literally does hang in the balance on a number of plays in which a playoff opponent makes a habit of running at our lightweight LB.

Something can be important without it necessarily being the tipping point to a championship.

Philly's head coach claims he's had several discussions with him after the visit.

And yet... if it was done, it would be done. No?

There's almost certainly a third option we don't know about (assuming Stephen's not being coy). Shouldn't surprise if he's decided to take another visit. Or two.

Hes going to Philly


It would be a bad look for him to choose us after Philly got destroyed last night

If Quinn's defense was that great, Leonard wouldn't be needed.

I don't follow the logic.

White smoke. White smoke. C'mon white smoke...

 

[Carson]

At this point, he’s not playing this week. That was even pushing it if he signed late last week / today.
