Shaq Leonard update

[rags747]

Eagles players don't live in Philly, usually they live in NJ. Jason Peters lived in Connecticut.

That’s all fine and good but they still have state income taxes and $2m in Jersey or Ct don’t buy as much as $2m in Texas I don’t believe.

Go to the Colts message board and read about this guy.

"Shell of his former self"
"On the sharp decline"
" no impact plays"
"Gets washed out in the run game"
"Cut him"

And on and on and on.

Fans tend to know when their players have run out of gas.

I wouldn't sweat too much if we don't sign him.

Here's a possibility nobody has mentioned: what if we haven't heard about any signing because neither team wanted him after meeting with him?

Do fans know? Do they? There’s a thousand on this board who think they do but don’t.

Our message board said the same thing about Terrance Newman…

To be fair they also said the same about Jaylon Smith as well as Dez so there is that

Most fans don't know a thing, but swear they do or that their opinion matters or should matter!

 

[Praxit]

I don’t think players think that way for teams that are close. They can literally make teams better or worse

..good point. But think about it. Leonard hasn't won squat in his career.

He's 28, with body surgeries. His prime is almost spent. Might have couple of good years left.

That would be something definitely on my mind.

 

[Hardline]

Oh my, Philly let him out of the building. How did that happen?

They didn't want kidnapping charges?

 

[big dog cowboy]

This is drawing way more attention than it should considering he is a player who was benched then cut in Indy.

 

[popp1234]

got to wonder really where the medical is at for him...

I heard on the radio (didn't catch the channel) that his medical checked out fine.

 

[Praxit]

Baldy is on 105.3 The Fan and he says he is hearing that Leonard is leaning towards playing for the Cowboys.

..that would be nice.

Your averag dedicated fan can see the difference in a guy at his peak vs the same player when he has declined.

People in here may not know the best type of coverage to run against 11 vs 12 personnel.....but they can see the difference between Zeke from 2018 and Zeke from 2023. And Cowboy fans would see that decline more than any other fanbase.

So to answere your 2 questions: Yes the fans know,...and your 2nd question: yes the fans know

That was just AnActualCowboyFan saying that.

But he really doesn't know football that well.

 

[DCwarrior]

Imagine driving thru the metroplex after the plane lands....then a day later you're driving thru Philly with all the junkies and ugly city.

Not like there aren’t any tent cities on I 30 in Big D.

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

The Drama continues...

 

[stinkface]

Their GM screwed up. Cap boy offered a fair offer. Guess a whata burger and fries wasn't enough?

Really Whataburger or Gino's Cheese Steaks? Which one would you take?

 

[john van brocklin]

Great news!

 

[speedkilz88]

That’s all fine and good but they still have state income taxes and $2m in Jersey or Ct don’t buy as much as $2m in Texas I don’t believe.

Just pointing out that none of them want to live there.

Never had a Gino's steak. These days I'm relegated to soft foods who has the best shakes?

 

[BobSacamano]

He could be a good pass rusher but that’s mainly it.

 

[phildadon86]

Completely the opposite. He would help the run game. Immensely. And add veteran leadership, and he can hit.

The city of Philadelphia is one of a handful of cities that has a “special” tax” on pro athletes playing a game in the city. New York City has it as well. Which is why the owners of the Jets and Giants are in no itching hurry for a stadium in New York. Agents calculate that into value of contracts, though, so players get theirs, and agents definitely get their’s.
