According to Ian Rapoport, after a whirlwind of 24 hours of plane trips and lunch with GMs, former All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard will take the weekend to decide between joining the Cowboys or Eagles.

After a Tuesday meeting in Dallas, Leonard arrived in Philadelphia on Wednesday morning, and the Eagles head coach decided to get an early start on conversations.
During his session with the local and national media, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that he’s been calling the former All-Pro linebacker since Indianapolis waived him.
A 2018 second-round pick of the Colts, Leonard won Defensive Rookie of the Year while being named a first-team All-Pro. He developed into one of the top linebackers in the NFL, earning All-Pro honors three times in his first four seasons.
Back injuries limited him to three games last year, and he has seen a sharp cut to his playing time throughout this season.
