Rapoport: Leonard agrees to 1-yr deal with Eagles

[Pola_pe_a]

Leonard is going to get much more run in Philly which is what he wants to show he can still play. In Dallas he’d have been a rotational piece. I think that weighed into it more than anything.

The guy had relationships in Philly, he took a meeting with Dallas to drive up his price. Besides if Dallas was serious about upgrading their linebacker corp, they should have done it in the offseason by signing Bobby Wager instead they decided to extend LVE with a history of injuries.

He has no price. Indy is paying his contract. They offered him the minimum because anything over it cuts into what Indy has to pay.

Who did the Eagles gut or put on IR to make room for him?

 

[John813]

Or trading for Roquan last year

Eh, they were never going to pay him top dollar to retain him, IMO.

shocker

Shocking I say
Just Shocking

 

[gmb1]

I'm tired of these lucky bums

 

[America's Cowboy]

We are going into the hardest part of our schedule with Marqueese Bell and Damone Clarke as our only linebackers smh

They better make it a priority to sign/draft a high caliber one this offseason.

Can't a LB on another non-playoff team whose contract expires at the end of this 2023 regular season be able to sign with us for the playoffs? Or is that against the rules?

This….but it doesn’t matter how many times it gets said people don’t get that this wasn’t about $ or a bidding war

We need steal some of their players.

It's against the rules. No player is a free agent until the new league year starts a few weeks after the Super Bowl.

 

[crashintonickdm]

If he was so great why was he cut?

 

[MWH1967]

keep throwing wood on the fire.

 

[JustChip]

Yep. Like Packers fan were about Jaylon Smith after Dallas cut him. They couldn’t believe their fortune when they got him. And then couldn't believe their misfortune they got him.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

shocker

Took the word right out my mouth! ‍♂️

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Too bad. He is no longer all pro but he is average and we could use another average LB. So could the Eagles but he is not going to help them this week.

Actually please trot him out this week.

 

[popp1234]

Meh

 

[SlimBig]

*Captain Kirk shocked face

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Same people freaking out on this signing would have freaked out if the Eagles signed Jaylon Smith.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Lets all learn from this and never trust Baldy as a source anymore fellas

Darn. That sucks. Looks like we're stuck with whom we currently have.
