FWIW I appreciate this not being the typical "Everything is Gravy" BS they roll out, at least on the surface level.
I think Omaha said sometime last year that he had concerns that Leonard might already be done. My heart pulls for the kid, for sure, but my brain is telling me I should not be surprised if the ROI on Leonard is insufficient. Irsay's "Transparency" here, even if it isn't intentional, is refreshing. |

So add LB to the "position of need" list.
LB, WR, CB, o-line depth. Leonard has been injured since Rivers was QB. Why haven't we drafted/obtained another LB since then? It's only July, so we'll see.

This was exactly why I wanted to trade Leonard and sign Okereke long term. Now Okereke is a Giant. The Colts have obtained two other very good LBs in between in E.J. Speed, who they retained, and Zaire Franklin, who was unexpectedly very good last year.

Nobody is going to trade for Leonard in his condition. The most likely thing is that he gets cut, probably next year. Read somewhere it will cost around 8 million in dead money and save about 12 million.

I should have written that better. But, yeah, I'd rather have kept Okereke.

That's correct. At least per OTC. Releasing Leonard now would be a $28M cap hit with ($8M) pressure to the cap, next year is $8M cap hit w/ $12M in savings, and the following year is a $4M cap hit w/ $20M in cap savings.
