Sources: Ronald Leary has requested trade from Cowboys

[RS12]

IRVING, Texas -- Ronald Leary has requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboysand has been a no-show for the offseason program, including the start of organized team activities Tuesday, according to sources.

Leary signed his restricted free-agent tender worth $2.553 million before the draft in hopes of facilitating a trade. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team received a few inquiries over the three-day draft but they would not just “give away” Leary. He is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

The only part of the offseason program that is mandatory for players to attend is the June minicamp. If Leary does not show up for the camp, he would be subject to a fine because he signed the tender.

Sounds good to me. What could we get?

 

[waldoputty]

good grief, thought no one wanted him in the draft?
he is still a great backup.
as a vet, we dont need him in camp this early...

 

[jday]

So this should make for an interesting discussion: What player that the Cowboys need could Leary garner in an even swap? Legit #2 receiver? Situational pass-rusher? Nickel Corner?

 

[Bowdown27]

I think we'd get a 4th highest.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Not terribly surprised. Given his circumstance I probably would have done the same thinig. Now the question is do we grant his request and what could we get?

we need to wait for injuries in training camp.
leary is playing his hand too early?

 

[Vinnie2u]

Don't blame him. He got Wally Pipped.

 

[JohnsKey19]

This was going to happen one way or another. He's too good and makes too much to be inactive on game days.

 

[slick325]

Can't blame him at all. Also, can't blame Stephen Jones for not wanting to "give" him away either. Hopefully a fair trade presents itself so there won't be any negative feelings in the lockeroom. Not that I think Leary is unprofessional but hiding unhappiness in that situation is tough.

 

[Shinaoi]

It's a shame because he's worth more as a backup than a 6th round pick well get.

 

[Sydla]

He wants to play and right now he doesn't have a spot. I don't blame him.

But I also think his value is likely 4th round or so. People don't overpay for OGs in trades, even decent ones.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Trade him to Buffalo for a 5th rounder. They owe us for Cassel..

 

[MrMom]

Titans just lost Guard Byron Bell for the year. Makes sense.

 

[dfense]

I hear the Eagles need guards since Chip released their Pro Bowlers and replaced them with a lifeguard and a fireman.

 

[conner01]

Can't blame him but that's part of the business. If we can get something of value for him he could be traded but I wouldn't give him away either. If I couldn't get a 4th I'd just as soon keep him for depth. Once he has to report he will because the cost of not reporting is high. Don't blame the player, don't blame the team, just part of the business and it's sometimes not what one side or the other wants

 

[gmoney112]

Haha well, too bad.

You'll be moved, possibly, towards the end of camp when a few lineman have had injuries, if we haven't had any of our own.

Until then, we simply won't get value.

So, get comfortable.

 

[Joe Realist]

keep him. Somebody will either get hurt or have an off year. If Joe Looney is playing, then we are in trouble.
