The Dallas Cowboys are pleased to announce that their head coach will be signing a free agent because…

The adage “Don’t let him out of the building!” applies to NFL free agency, not only to the Dallas Cowboys but to teams in general.

That is designed to show, at The Star, that Jerry Jones, the owner of the team and one of the best marketers in human history, can put a guy in a room and entice him to sign with Dallas.

That might very well occur on Tuesday, as the Cowboys have made a significant effort to sign free agency linebacker Shaquille Leonard. Head coach Mike McCarthy has stated publicly that “America’s Team” is “definitely interested” in signing the talented player.

Jones said on Tuesday that he and Leonard would be having lunch.

He’s been a fantastic player, according to Jones on 105.3 The Fan. “We wish to assess his condition. That’s what he is doing at the moment.

Put another way, as you read this, Leonard is there at The Star.

This verified what CowboysSI.com reported last Tuesday following Leonard’s “shocking” release from the Indianapolis Colts. We said that Dallas anticipated Leonard to clear waivers (which he did) because of his bloated contract, and that after that, Dallas would consider placing a bid.

That process is now underway. finished with Leonard having made plans to visit Frisco on Tuesday.

Perhaps Leonard will go through with his now-rumored plan to arrange another recruiting trip. This time, it would be to Philadelphia, where the Eagles, at 10-1, have a better record than the Cowboys (8-3), which should give Leonard a better chance of winning a Super Bowl ring. Additionally, the Eagles need a linebacker.
