I was just about to ask the same thing. I doubt the Cowboys would have an interest. They are pretty stacked at DL. Leonard makes more sense for the Cowboys.

Yeah he won't end up on Dallas for the same reason, we have several good pass rushers already so he won't get time.Jaydubb wrote:Thing is the eagles DL is just stacked anyway so it’s hard for even good players to find PT. They’ve also been moving Jalen Carter all around the DL, sometimes at edge too.

Idk but he missed like 2 weeks of practice for personal reasons

He’s just always been a weird player because when he tries, he can look good, but lately it seems that he doesn’t even try anymore. But even what I would call his “peak” he was still very inconsistent. He’d make some splash plays and then disappear for an entire half and then disappear for like 3 games straight.. Plus there’s been too many times where the eagles will get a key defensive stop and then: “roughing the passer, #96, 15 yard penalty and automatic 1st down…”

Kind of reminds me of a guy named David Irving that used to play for the Cowboys. Immensely talented but super lazy and entitled. He was probably the most talented guy they had on the DL but the guy never felt he had to practice. Even during his contract year he got a high ankle sprain and missed like 10 games. I think he was expecting to come back just for the playoffs and then get paid a big contract. Instead he got cut and played 1 more season for the Raiders and then was out of the NFL.

Barnett never really flashed a ton of talent but he would occasionally look good. He’d just go invisible for 2-3 games after having a few good plays in a row. I think the only reason the eagles drafted him is because he broke Reggie whites sack record at Tennessee.

I remember when he was drafted thinking I wish the Cowboys had a shot at him and thinking the Eagles got a player that was going to be a problem for a while. Turns out he was a problem for the Eagles though.

Looks like Shaq Leonard will not be signing with the Cowboys. Apparently his meeting went well but he left without signing a contract. He’s still determined to meet with Philly. Jerry has always said that he will not let a player leave without signing (if he really wants him). The Cowboys have more money available (than the Eagles) to sign Leonard and have a ton of playing time for him. Either Shaq just REALLY wants to play for Philly or there is a reason the Cowboys allowed him to leave. Medical maybe?
