The Indianapolis Colts have made a surprising move, releasing three-time All-Pro Shaquille Leonard. Leonard had been with the Colts since 2017, and was an integral part of the team’s success in recent years.
Leonard was a three-time All-Pro selection, and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2019. He was also a key contributor to the Colts’ Super Bowl run in 2018, where they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. Leonard had been a reliable starter for the Colts, and his release comes as a shock to many.
The Colts have not yet released an official statement on why they decided to part ways with Leonard. However, it is believed that the team is looking to get younger and more athletic at the position. The team has already signed two young defensive linemen in free agency, and it is likely that they are looking to add more youth to the defensive line.
It is unclear what Leonard’s next move will be. He is a free agent and could potentially sign with another team. However, he may decide to retire from the NFL after 11 seasons.
The release of Leonard is a major surprise for the Colts and their fans. He was a key part of the team’s success in recent years, and his absence will be felt on the field. It remains to be seen how the team will adjust without him, but it is clear that his release was an unexpected move.
