Sign the beast - Shaq Leonard

[Pape]

Not sure what the purpose of picking him up on a 2-8 team is. Because of his health issues, unlikely to be resigned.
Why take playing time away from players who are more likely to be in long term plans?
The pats goal should NOT be to do everything possible to get to 8-9

Under contract til '26... So it's not like it's a short term rental

 

[Pape]

Any consideration of a waiver claim of that contract is absolutely nuts.

Can always renegotiate... He's already gotten the bonus money from the clots... Rework the deal, he gets money upfront, we lower the cap hits

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Hard pass on other team's overpaid guys who can't play anymore. We have enough of those already.

Given the cap space next year, might be worth a look if he clears waivers and is on a new contract. If he has an offset in his contract, some contender is going to get him practically for free.

If only to prevent the Queefs from acquiring him, I would strongly consider claiming the dude.

Chiefs, Eagles, Niners.

Then he can opt out of his contract at the end of the season.

Players like who ??

 

[PatsFan2]

The Defense blows without Judon and Gonzo our washed up DE's haven't sniffed a QB since.

 

[FCB02062]

Bill would offer him $4/hour

 

[TheRainMaker]

Chiefs, Eagles, Niners.

Any of those teams would be good because he could limit his reps - especially with the 49ers who like collecting defensive players.

He'd ask him if he plays special teams.

not sure i am following... you mean opt out after the 2025 season?

 

[Pape]

he took about 15% of the 2018-2021 ST snaps...

Shaq Leonard can opt out of his contract at the end of this year if he's claimed off waivers.

thank you for the info... that tidbit was not in the contract breakdown i had read.

 

[lancerman]

Leonard is not the same guy most of the people posting here think he is.

If I’m Kraft I demand we claim him for the next regime

If I’m Bob Kraft I’m saying So Sorry, the washing machine broke and I have to replace it, no money for free agent pick ups. Get back to me once we have secured the first pick in the draft.

He underwent two procedures in 2022 to address a nerve issue during and only appeared in three games last season. He returned for 2023 and started nine of the Colts’ 10 games, but was limited to primarily playing on first and second downs.

This is why you read the article.

If he clears waivers I would be fine taking a look on a low dollar prove it deal. Picking him up with the history of back injuries at this price scares me.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

I think he will clear waivers. Why pay $6 million for damaged goods?

No one is claiming that contract after 2 back surgeries
