I am not surprised. with Eagles in need of a LB, the market just got hotter for him, so he will probably visit the eagles next. the eagles have the cap space as well.

How much do you think he’s going to get to play the final 6 regular season games? His value is at an all time low right now so highly doubt he’s looking for a multi year deal. His best bet is to sign with a team that he will be able to get on the field with and show he can still play at a reasonably high level, a cheap prorated 6 game “prove it” deal. If he does that the bigger $ will come after the season.
Basically, he’s looking for best fit and doubt it has anything to do with amount of $.

My only worry is Sirriani. Otherwise I think he signs in Dallas Friday.

For all of those people saying this is about salary it isn't. Leonard had a guaranteed salary for 2023 when he was cut by the Colts. Meaning that the only way he would make more money is if a team paid him in excess of the $6 million that was left on his guaranteed contract with the Colts for the remainder of the 2023 season. He is guaranteed $6 million regardless so if Dallas was only offering $1 million then he would end up getting $1 million from Dallas and $5 million from the Colts or if Dallas offered $3 million then he would get $3 million from the Colts. The only way money comes into play is if a team offered him more than the $6 million to play the next 6 games or if some team offered him an extended contract. Him not signing with Dallas comes down to one of two things.

1) Dallas didn't think he was healthy

or

2) he wanted to explore playing for other teams - doesn't mean he won't eventually choose Dallas

Money most likely won't be the motivation for where he signs unless some team gets stupid and throws ridiculous money at him.

Another case of a player using the Cowboys to drive up the interest and price another team will give him. He's going to be an Eagles by the end of tomorrow.

Difference makers are not let go in week 12 or 13. Dallas normally takes a flyer on guys like this, see Rashaan Evans. If he left without a deal there has to be a little more to it. For those of you upset by him leaving with no deal what do you think a LB coming off of 2 back surgeries is worth?

Why wouldn't he get playing time in Philly? Zach Cunningham is hurt, Nakobe Dean is hurt, Nicholas Morrow is meh. He would be an upgrade over Morrow and Dean and may be an upgrade over Cunningham. If healthy he is an upgrade over Cunningham.

Cunningham is day to day. Dean is back in a week,.
