Shaquille Leonard: Hangs up cleats
Leonard retired from the NFL on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old linebacker has officially called it a career following seven seasons in the NFL . Leonard, a second-round pick out of South Carolina State, earned the 2018 Defensive Rookie of the Year award and received first-team All-Pro honors in three of his first four years. From 2018 to 2021, he tallied 538 total tackles, including 15.0 sacks, 30 passes defended and 17 forced fumbles across 58 regular-season contests. Although Leonard last played for the Eagles in 2023, he's retiring as a Colt, as the team announced Wednesday.

Shaquille Leonard: Wants new team, open to retirement
Leonard said he wishes to sign with a new team and play during the 2024 NFL season, but that he'd be at peace with calling it a career if no opportunity presents itself, Kyle Smeldy of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Leonard, a three-time All-Pro, posted 88 tackles in 14 regular-season games split between the Colts and Eagles in 2023, his comeback after a 2022 campaign plagued by injuries. Though he's remained a free agent throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamps, Leonard said he's staying in shape and waiting for an opportunity to sign, while leaving open the possibility of retirement. "If it happens, it happens," Leonard said. "If it don't, it don't. I think throughout my career I've had a great career, even if I do step away from it."

Eagles' Shaquille Leonard: Posts 88 tackles in comeback
Leonard bounced back from an injury-filled 2022 season to record 88 tackles in 14 regular-season games split between the Colts and Eagles.
Back issues limited Leonard to three games in 2022, but while he proved his health early in the year with the Colts, he was nonetheless cut in late November. He landed with the Eagles, where he played the last five games of the season. While the fact that he remained on the field was certainly encouraging, he was nowhere near the playmaker he was back in 2021, when he forced eight fumbles and recovered two more. Leonard didn't force nor recover a fumble this season, nor did he intercept a pass, and he finished with just 1.0 sacks.
