Twitter: Shaq leaving Dallas without a deal

[ClappingCarrot]

Watch Howie sign him for peanuts and it not affect the cap at all.

He should go to Philadelphia more playing time. Leonard is not better then Bell or Clark.

Problem is bell and Clark are both too light. They can’t stop the run.

 

[Praxit]

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.

...not all grass is greener on otherside. ..

Dont forget Evans. The man is physical beast. ..

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.

I did not know that. Thank you for the contract info. So if money is not the problem then it’s either health or scheme. I’m thinking health issues.

If the Colts let him walk there is a reason. People always are into the name not the player.

Yeah but it's the Colts. They don't need a reason with Irsay as their owner.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Welp, That was quick. Where's that rambo guy. He had me thinking this was a done deal lol

Never trust a word of what he says

 

[jujoboys]

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

A healthy Shaq Leonard is better than both. The question is health, so Philly is right to do their due diligence and bring him in for a visit. Nakobe Dean is as slow as molasses. There are offensive linemen that ran the 40 faster than him. Lane Johnson ran a 4.72 and Dean ran a 4.74.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

May as well plan on seeing him in green in two weeks.

 

[lukin2006]

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.

I believe the eagles have 2 million. Dallas has 6 million and Texas has no income tax…

 

[stinkface]

That was a quick visit.

Off to Philly he goes

Apparently serving Whataburger for lunch wasn't the way to go.

I don't think Philly has every shied away from figuring out a way to manipulate the cap. This is their year to go all in. AFC is a shell of what it was the last two years.

 

[JohnsKey19]

The issue could be finding a team that wont take him off of the field on passing downs. Apparently that was an issue this season in Indy. I dont think it's a money/contract issue at all.

Eagles To Meet With Shaquille Leonard; Cowboys Remain In Mix​

You knew they would be taking a look before he signed, or didn't sign with anyone.

 

[dreameaglegreen]

eagles just waived josiah scott?

 

[Bigrandrn]

Always an excuse and then he magically balls out for our rivals. We passed on Wagner too how did that work out.

That’s what I was saying, Wagner still a AP2 player past couple years. We need a LB anyway, next year included since LVE likely done. We have the money, Shaq likely not THAT expensive…..and Jerry cheap again, and teams like SF and Philly continue to make moves to win…..so stupid, Jerry always thinking he outsmarts everyone.

 

[tomsanders921]

He will be an eagle. No doubt in my mind. They will offer more than Dallas as they are always all in for getting that championship.

They need room for Quez Watkins and Nakobe Dean. Barnett opened 1 spot and i believe you need the 2nd spot

 

[KJJ]

Usually when Jerry wants a player he doesn’t let them leave without signing. They get the deal done. Not looking good.
