Why isn't Darius Leonard signed yet?

[Kwyn]

He appeared to play scared to me this year. It’s a big nental part of coming back from a serious injury. But being cut might build a fire in him to get past that. He has major talent when healthy

Just curious how many Indianapolis colts games you watched this year with a specific focus on their linebacker play.

Not necessarily crappijg on you but none of us … pretty sure that’s accurate … have a handle on his play.

We’re all just reacting to tweets and, even less reliably, CowboyZone comments (mine included)

 

[Kwyn]

Anyone know when he is visiting?

I heard a rumor that he’s going to possibly visit the Cowboys next week. The Eagles have hijacked his flight to Dallas tomorrow and redirected it to Filthadelphia.

We are doomed.

The entire cosmos relies on us signing this guy.

Jerry better not mess this up again.

He is exactly the same player that he was during his 1st Team All-Pro seasons but the Colts took a 28 million cap hit to cut him because they wanted to do Jerry a favor...

I watched 3 of there games and highlights which just shows his good plays. He’s returning from a serious injury so it’s understandable he’s be hesitant to hit like he once did. But reps gets guys past that. And getting cut may help him get back to himself. He’s a cheap signing with lots of experience so I’d lock him down and see what he can do the rest of the year. It doesn’t cost hardly anything so really no risk. If he fully recovers it gives you the inside track to bring him back next year too

I trust him as a dependable linebacker. Long arms are an asset. He is interactive and instinctively attacks on multiple was in defense of the run. He will be an asset and grow back to a strong level in this Dallas directed defensive scheme. I see this as a strong 2 year defensive move.

It’s low risk high reward possibly. You literally have nothing to lose other than a guy on the bottom of the roster. It gives you the inside track for next year if you want too

Why isn't Darius Leonard signed yet For Crying Out Loud, Let The Man Get His Visits First..​

 

[atlantacowboy]

Maybe he wants more than the league minimum?

Colts are on the hook for the rest of the season.

Thanks ATL , a couple of other posters mentioned this factor as well.
That should help us, as we tend to be cheap sometimes.

Don’t the Eagles have priority on any player that clears waivers? lol….. They seem to always sign players that are available.

This is taking too long

This is taking too long

They are probably still having lunch. We will know as soon as it's decided whether or not he signed.

It's a proxy war between Divisional Rivals TEN and IND.

TEN has a financial interest in PHI and gives them players. IND is trying to counter that because of reasons

 

[bigE79]

I keep refreshing,I'm on pins and needles over here...lol

 

[xwalker]

I'm pretty sure that isn't true.

He said he could not do 1 calf raise with his left foot/leg...last year.

Also said he had no feeling in part of left leg/foot...last year.

So when is he visiting
