We will miss him in Indy still surprised they cut him

[@SchrodingerMil]

He just didn't fit well with the new scheme, and the fact that he was out the year the scheme changed only made it worse.

[@Matt-Sh]

​@@SchrodingerMilyeah, that...or that he had two nerve-based back surgeries back to back years and is like 3 steps slower ever since. Notice all these highlights are 2021 and before

[@masonholliday539]

he was so bad this year 😭😭

[@maskedman5657]

He got worse

[@Buff_Dave_Oprtr]

His back is terrible. If he had a year off to heal,would do wonders.

[@king_supreme1102]

His prime was a joy to watch. The 4 All Pro seasons were crazy. You’ll always be loved in Indy.

[@JizoMan]

Them fumbles is a work of art

[@PanagiotisAraujo11]

Before his injury,the maniac was the best linebacker. The instinct he had to punch the ball and make the fumble,was something unique to his game. Let's hope after the cut by the Colts,to stay out of injuries and going to a team who's fit to him.

[@Jay_is_juiced]

If he gets to the nova care center he’s gonna be fine 🦅🦅🦅

[@SalemPhiladelphia]

Crazy how u called it 😂😂😂

[@ricardobjj24]

He was one of the best linebackers in football before injury I'm sure he can still get back to form on a contender

Best of luck to bro wherever he goes 🙏 it's never over till it's over

[@jshumphress13]

We will miss you Shaq Leonard. Yesterday was a sad but necessary day for Colts fans. Breaks my heart that he just couldn’t quite get back to his old form after that nerve damage. I think fans, the team, and Leonard all hoped beyond hope that he would get that quick twitch back, but it just didn’t happen. I hope he finds a new team with scheme that fits him better than the Colts new scheme under Bradley, but ultimately, I don’t think scheme was the biggest issue. He just hasn’t looked the same this year, and you can pay a player that isn’t delivering. Nothing but love from this Colts fan. (And he handed out turkeys yesterday with the team after being released, which shows the type of man he is). 😢

[@blueflameSM]

Leonard legitimately could've had a HOF career, 4x All-Pro early in his career was a good start. Injuries derailed his career.

[@JustNhuman2k]

Didn’t retire yet

[@ItsMeRomeoD]

He’s really good at reading the play with all these INT. That’s needed where he going. Respectfully

[@Austin.Kilgore]

He best ability though undoubtedly was his ability to force fumble if you ask me… dude was an absolute turnover machine. Loved watching him play, going to be severely missed here in Indy

[@alfredoberiajr9011]

I love this game

[@colecianciola847]

Gonna miss him :( thank you for the good moments shaq

If this dude is even 75 percent of how good he was before the injuries he will be a huge difference maker on that Philly defense

I really think he will be good again on a contender. he wont need to be the main guy on defense, but could still be an important piece. with a solid defensive cast, i think he can still make plays.

Its sad that that they let him go

[@jjblack11]

It's still an absolute atrocity that Vander Esch got into the Pro Bowl in their rookie season and Shaq didn't. Oh well, 1st team All Pro is where it's at anyways. It'll be hard for any linebacker to ever reach Shaqs overall numbers in those first few seasons. Will definitely miss him in Indy🥲

[@thomasthompson4999]

Well the wolf man. Did play Great as a Rookie. Well it could be payback. With Vander hurt again this year. And Leonard going to try out this week. He would have his spot and possibly next year.

Eagles better make the call to HIM.He’s exactly what Eagles are missing on Defense.Eagles need Linebackers anyway and Knowone is better then an All-Pro at that position specially an All-Pro still in his 20s. Eagles GM Mr.Magic Man Howie Rosman need to make the dam call asap.

[@spencermccreery2508]

What’s really sad about this is you can actually see him get slower once he has the ball in later clips. That speed just wasn’t there anymore. :’-(

[@mattmaxey5864]

He's one of those guys that I wish was a bit bigger or a bit smaller. He is too little to play inside linebacker and last 10 years. If he was just a little smaller and faster, we would be calling him the best free safety in football.

Still surprised they actually cut this man , like seriously But it’s the Indianapolis colts, it’s really just hard to believe that they would really do that

[@CatGodess.]

after his injury his production went way down. if you watched him this season it was apparent he was never 100% himself and sometimes a liability. as a colts fan i wish we kept him until the end of the season but it kinda makes sense to clear up some dead cap since he was under a massive contract. i hope he goes somewhere and starts producing again its sad to see him go considering he was my favorite colts player. hate to see him go though
