Cowboys Consider Former All-Pro Linebacker Shaq Leonard

Owner Jerry Jones confirms contact with Leonard, praises current linebacker core amid ongoing evaluation of Leonard's health and performance.

Former All-Pro linebacker Shaq Leonard, recently waived by the Colts, is being considered by the Dallas Cowboys, among other teams.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed the team has made contact with Leonard but did not disclose the degree of interest.
Leonard's performance may be impacted by two recent back surgeries, which the Cowboys are taking into consideration.
Despite interest in Leonard, Jones praised the current Cowboys linebackers, including sophomores Damone Clark and Markquese Bell.
Leonard, a three-time Pro Bowl player, could be a dynamic addition to the Cowboys' defense, which is currently ranked among the best in the NFL.
