Shaq Leonard released.

[SoonerBillsFan]

Agreed let him clear waivers then see.

Wasn't he considered one of the best LBs in the league not that long ago? He's only 28. What happened to him?

Definitely worth a look after clearing waivers. Give him a few weeks to rest up and then see what he's got for the playoff run.  I'm interested in seeing what Fournette can do. Ty Johnson looked good too sticking it to his former team.

[uticaclub]

See if he's interested in the PS if he clears waivers

[MPL]

Give me all the Shaq's. We'll be the Shaq Shack. 

[Logic]

He would make sense if and only if he's willing to sign a cheap one year deal.

There's no spot for him long term, as Milano and Bernard will be the locked in starting duo.

Further, he's NOT the Shaq Leonard of old that people are picturing. He's really not. The Colts wouldn't have released him outright if he was.

At this point, he'd have to be a Leonard Fournette type situation. Sign to to the practice squad for cheap, MAYBE get called up at some point this season. Nothing more.

[WotAGuy]

Sign him to the practice squad.  That crew could win the Super Bowl by themselves. 

[Chaos]

Is he a hybrid of Shaq Lawson and Floyd Leonard.  I really feel like they should pick him and play him in a game, just to listen to the commentators get confused. 

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Let's do the math.

 

A 5-5 Colts team lets him go, despite his history. That screams in blinking neon lights DO NOT TOUCH

I mean he might have slept with Richardson's mom like Deonte West slept with Lebron's mom.

[Senth]

I thought his name was Darius.

I mean, sure, anything is possible

 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I don’t see the Bills getting him. Eagles or Miami.

[Warriorspikes51]

If the team doctors give the green light, absolutely.  There is a chance he just needs a fresh start.

Battled injuries the last 2 seasons and they changed their defense

 

Risk is low. Reward very high. 
 

He is another very physical, high energy playmaker. Similar to Rasul in that sense.

We have no leverage for a multi year deal so unless everyone is offering 1 year deals then we’re not competing to sign him.

[buffaloboyinATL]

He was so much ch better when he was Darius.  

[HOUSE]

I predict no team claims him AND no team team attempts a signing

It's to late in the season and no team is handling out 5 mil for a broken down LB.

There are healthy players on the PS that already know the system

He'll end up having multiple contenders interested in adding him.  He'll sign for cheap for the rest of the season

You would need the inside on his medical report and back injuries on a LB will never work.
