And cutting him now does a couple of things. You are now short a linebacker. Is there a guy who is not signed to another team who the Colts can sign right now and is better than Leonard? Cut Leonard now will trigger contract clauses that will have cap implications.
And who do you put in that roster spot that is better than Leonard.
