Schefter: Leonard likely to have a new home in the next 48 hours

[Risen Star]

Two key free-agent decisions loom for two decorated players. Both former Colts’ LB Shaquille Leonard and former Cardinals TE Zach Ertz are free agents, and both are likely to have new homes in the next 48 or so hours, per sources. Leonard is considering the Cowboys and Eagles, per sources, and whoever doesn’t get him might have to face him next Sunday with Philadelphia playing at Dallas. As for Ertz, the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens and Eagles each have expressed varying forms of interest in the tight end.

We all know where these guys are going, right?

 

[reddyuta]

we have better cap available right? I hope he signs with us.

Shaq - Dallas
Ertz - Baltimore

I doubt he would play next week. He'd have all of a couple of practices in a new defense.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Hell, I'd sign them both.......and make a long-term decision after the season. They both could be good insurance for the post-season

Bring in Ertz and cut Ferguson?

I'm open minded.

Ertz is washed

I'm far from convinced all the drama over Leonard is worth it.

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

If he signs with us cool. If he doesn’t, cool. I don’t care either way.

 

[CATCH17]

I don’t know if the guy can even play anymore.

I know Bell can play. Bell is ridiculously good.

I doubt he would play next week. He'd have all of a couple of practices in a new defense.

Kevin Byard played 100% of the snaps just 5 days after his plane landed in Philadelphia.

Josh Dobbs came in and won a game having never taken a practice snap with his new team.

Chase Young played 61% of the snaps and had a sack the the Niners very next game after they got him.

Montez sweat played 65% of the snaps 5 days after he was traded.

If Dallas wants Leonard (we have no use for Ertz) today is the day for the full court press when all the other teams need to worry about their games.

Why? He has been playing. It's not like when one of these guys who isn't in football shape or hasn't played a game after an offseason injury is signed mid-season. He could step off the bus and into a rotation role.

Eagles have est. 1.7 million in 2023 cap space.

Dallas has 10.8 million

But next season looks bad for us. Even with the 10.8 million rollover from 2023.

I hope so.

I think they can make it work with our cap.

Of course, this means the end of the road for LVE.

But how many players have the Cowboys put on the field the week after signing them?

His road may have already dead ended at the rehab facility.

The only drama is here.

Shelter had to put a lot of thought into this conclusion.
