Yes. Right away.

get on the phone with his agent, and the call should basically go like

 

[TheRainMaker]

He's actually going through waivers right now so the Pats will have an early crack at him first.

 

[203Pat]

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

get him for the pro-rated balance of this years cap? worth the shot...

we've wasted bigger dollars on worse players...

Dolts must think his back issues will crop up again and at his salary not worth the $

Colts front office to Leonard:

 

[Jim Beankie]

I was kinda sorta hoping Mapu would turn into this dude...

For now....

for the six million left on this years deal, i'd grab him, and say "enjoy the free money, heal up" and pair his ass with Judon next year...

For now....

give Mapu time... he went to a mid tier D-1 school... the adjustment to the NFL game will take a bit of time

Two back surgeries…the scar tissue alone can drastically change the body’s ability to perform.

 

[Pape]

What a drop off he's had:

Colts waive LB Shaquille Leonard

Leonard earned 2018 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year honors and was named a first-team AP All-Pro in three of his six seasons in Indianapolis.

back injury will do that... we should claim him, its short money at this point - 6 mill - for the remainder of the year

 

[Love The Drake]

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

agreed

Guessing Panthers or Bears jump on this.

 

[Ring 6]

Guessing Panthers or Bears jump on this.

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

 

[HetfieldFogerty]

I believe he’ not a beast…he’s a maniac. He could be a great pick-up, but not on his current contract. He’s being paid way too much this year and next, but he’s only playing a little better than your average LB. Once he clears waivers and gets realistic about what contract he deserves, he could be a great pickup…

 

[Grogan14]

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

 

[203Pat]

He is going to clear waivers. No one is picking up that money.

 

[Sciz]

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