Veteran Linebacker Shaquille Leonard Signs with Philadelphia Eagles

Leonard's decision influenced by relationship with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, set to debut against Dallas Cowboys in Week 14.

Veteran linebacker Shaquille Leonard has signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, choosing them over their NFC East rival, the Dallas Cowboys.
Leonard's decision was heavily influenced by his relationship with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, who he worked with during Sirianni's tenure as offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed that there was no discussion about money or contracts during their meeting with Leonard, suggesting that Leonard's decision was based on where he thought he had the best chance of success.
Leonard, who was released by the Colts on November 21, is expected to provide immediate help to the Eagles' linebacking group.
Leonard is likely to make his debut with the Eagles in Week 14, when they face the Cowboys.
