Maybe he wants more than the league minimum?

 

[big dog cowboy]

1. He hasn't visited yet.
2. Can he play in this league any more?
3. Medical concerns?
4. Asking too much $?

Do you follow the media at all? I mean they’ve talked about it all day long on The Fan. He’s visiting tomorrow

As I understand it, the NFL works like the NBA does on this... Leonard cannot earn anything greater than what he was making from the Colts, and they will be on the hook for the difference between the amount his new team pays and the $6m (?) he was making (since he made it thru waivers).

So, there's actually no motivation for the new team to pay anything more than the vet minimum, nor for him to seek anything more than that.

What there could be, though, is the prospect of a multi-year contract, and with that, some bidding on what teams would be willing to guarantee next season. That sounds more likely than not.

He is still getting the money the colts owe him. What he gets from any team isn’t gonna be that high so what he gets doesn’t matter. The cheaper he signs the better since it doesn’t effect his pay

The “character” concerns are that a guy who was on a HOF trajectory had several injury setbacks and wasn’t happy being demoted twice and benched.

It’s not like he destroyed the locker room or had domestic violence issues.

The Colts players did and still do, love him

Exactly. It won’t be about money. Just where he thinks he fits best, has a shot at a SB and maybe a future cobtract
