    I'm not interested in him at all, those injuries he had the last few years are probably taking its toll on him, any team that claims him on waivers owes him 6 million the rest of the season.
    I know Scribe is a big fan of Leonard, the Steelers have signed LB Blake Martinez, they have no faith in Mark Robinson apparently.

    I don't think he will make it to us Via Waiver wire.

    Somebody will take a shot with him.

    Did you see we also signed some guy who sells POKEMON cards? Super Bowl guaranteed now...

    Is Leonard game ready or is he still struggling with injuries? May not be a bad idea even if it’s just to get some intel in preparation for the game later on this year

    Better check on his health, it is a big question mark.

    If they are worried about injuries taking a toll on a player, they shouldn't be signing Blake Martinez. '

    Leonard is a three-time All-Pro, so he has plenty of people other than me who appreciated his play in the past. He missed most of last season with two back injuries and a concussion. I don't think he has fully recovered from all of that. I'm not sure he ever will, but they should still consider trying to sign him if he makes it through waivers.

    Hah. He played in 15 games for Washington last season. He might have actually been the guy to fill in when Holcomb was hurt, but now Bostic is a free agent.

    There's a reason he's on the bench, he's probably washed at this point.

    The fact the colts released him mid-season should speak volumes.

    He generated over 8 million dollars in revenue in 9 months selling those cards. Still sound stupid of him?

    He also got banned from selling sites for being a scammer when selling them.

    I got to question what Khan saw there?

    We need to sign Shaq Leinart. Period. End of story. Shaq Leinart may be the key.

    The Steelers just started Mykal Walker, who was on the practice squad all season. They just signed Blake Martinez off another practice squad. Neither of those guys was ever as good as Leonard when he was a first-team All-Pro three times in his first four seasons, making the second team the other time. That streak included the 2021 season.

    Maybe those back injuries have ruined him, but given that the Steelers are currently trolling practice squads, he is worth a look.

    If he clears waiver, it’s open bid is it not?

    They even said it's because of his injuries that have taken a toll on him. 3 games this year was all he has been healthy for. Not near the same player he used to be. No.:cool:

    TBH you could probably make a lot more money selling collectibles than you could on an NFL practice squad if you knew what you were doing. There's some shiny cardboard out there worth more than some NFL game checks lol

    100%. Why not if we are dumpster diving anyways. Injuries are a b**ch, and he may truly be done... but he was a fantastic player. Might be worth a try.

    But the Colts said they released him because they believe he isn't the same player because of the injuries he suffered the last few years.
