Following the release, Colts owner Jim Irsay issued a statement expressing gratitude for Shaq’s contributions to the team. Irsay praised Leonard’s energy and impact on the field, as well as his efforts in serving the community. Despite the release, the Colts wished Leonard and his family the best in their future endeavors.
A standout player from South Carolina State, Leonard quickly made a name for himself in the league with an impressive rookie season. He led the league in tackles and earned several accolades for his performance. Over the years, Leonard continued to excel as a pivotal player in the Colts’ defense, garnering a lucrative contract extension in 2021.
Despite his early success, Leonard faced setbacks in the 2022 and 2023 seasons due to injuries and changes in coaching staff. These challenges led to a decline in his performance and playing time, culminating in his release from the team.
As Leonard enters free agency, he aims to prove his worth and make a comeback in the NFL. However, with significant salary commitments, it remains uncertain if another team will claim him off waivers.
Additionally, the Colts made a roster move by signing linebacker Ronnie Harrison from their practice squad to the active roster.
