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

[Gambit]

I didn't tell him to commit to a decision today. He did that. He evidently figured that would provide ample time to make the decision, even without consulting me. I know, I know... who does that, right? But he didn't. Not lying.

But/and, he's not moving to Dallas or Philadelphia for 2-ish months (... re: "where he'd like to raise his kids" part). Perhaps one or both teams are offering him more than a deal to finish the season, but if so, that would appear to be a surprise to most.

I must have missed where he committed to signing by 9:23 pm est.

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

how many times does it need to be explained. It's going to be a minimum deal because the Colts owe him so much money. Anything we pay, get's deducted from the Colt's cost. He can't make more money unless he is seeking a raise, which would be unrealistic.

Question. How much of Leonard’s contract actually hit the cowboys salary cap? I.e. are the cowboys responsible for the part of Leonard’s salary the colts pick up?

 

[Chuck 54]

The point many are missing isn’t that Leonard will step into one of the two starting positions. We have one smallish LB and a Safety playing the middle. What do we do if either of them gets banged up and misses a game or several, especially in the playoffs. We signed Evans because we have no depth at all. Leonard is a valuable veteran signing as the season winds down because there’s no one else out there. He would be worth every penny even if he never started.

Looks like he is coming to Dallas.

Just what we pay

Anything to get 33 off the field is fine by me.

Clark is meh.

 

[CowboyStar88]

lol he’s taking the rest of the evening before he informs everyone of his decision tomorrow.

Is this what we really want? I mean what else do you need to decide?

Another Odel situation.

 

[Risen Star]

It's getting silly.

 

[1942willys]

It's getting silly.

Why is it silly that he is taking his time to make an important decision?
CLEARLY its a close call between the two to HIM.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Hmmm… I can go to Philly where I’ll get shell-shocked by the Niners, or I can go to Dallas where I’ll get pummeled by the Niners. Tough choice!

He’s not Roquan or Fred Warner.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Fans in X swear he's made his decision after the Eagles lost...........

 

[revospeed]

He doesn't want to play football anymore. If he did, he shouldnt have taken a week to decide who to play for. The offers are on the table, pick one and get to work or dont.

I must have missed where he committed to signing by 9:23 pm est.

And I must have missed where I said anything about a time... rather, was only responding to your protest as-if it's somehow weird to be anxious to learn his decision. C'mon man.

 

[mardwin]

Looks like he is coming to Dallas.

Don't think so, he probably wanted to sign with Philly but gave Dallas a visit out of respect. Both teams are going to the playoffs

 

[_sturt_]

Dave's right.

He wants to see what CZ says before he makes a decision. Hopefully Dak doesn’t do that.

"This is Oswald Bamborough, reporting from the CBS microphone in New York, as a breathless world awaits the fateful decision of one Mr. Shaquille Leonard, while the ultimate fate of the National Football League...and, dare I say...Western civilization as we know it...hang perilously in the balance."
