After a Tuesday meeting in Dallas, Shaquille 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.

An offensive coordinator for the Colts before getting the Philadelphia coaching job, Sirianni has a familiarity and relationship with Leonard that could get a deal done before this weekend’s contest against San Francisco.
Leonard is unlikely to play for any team he signs with ahead of Week 13.
