Ronald Leary

6 Cowboys Players That Could Be Traded

This past week, news broke that the Dallas Cowboys turned down trade opportunities during the NFL Draft for a couple of their running backs. Also, former starting left guard, Ronald Leary, decided to skip OTAs and have his agent request a trade from the Cowboys. Players requesting a trade isn’t uncommon, but teams aren’t going to just give away their players. They want to get as much compensation as possible, but it often comes down to finding a trade partner that is willing to meet your asking price. Trades aren’t quite as commonplace in the NFL as they are in the NBA and MLB, but they still happen.

Does Ronald Leary Have Any Leverage?

Ronald Leary, former starting guard for the Dallas Cowboys and current backup is missing the voluntary offseason training and hasn’t been with the Cowboys all spring. He’s a restricted free agent who has signed his tender and requested a trade. Understandably so, Leary is a proven starter, who lost his starting job to La’el Collins in the middle of last season, and wants to play somewhere he has a chance to start. Will Leary be playing elsewhere in 2016? While it may be fun to imagine for who or what the Cowboys could trade him, I would err on the side of practicality and say that Leary stays in Dallas.

A Dallas Cowboy “Requests” A Trade: How Did It Go Last Time?

May is a weird time in the NFL. It’s beautiful in the sense that hope is as palpable as ever throughout the buildings of all 32 franchises, but it’s weird in that players tend to make demands before everything gets seriously rolling on the season. By now you surely know that Dallas Cowboys Offensive Guard Ronald Leary has requested to be traded to a team that doesn’t have a Star on its helmet. I’m not a professional football player, shocking I know, but the idea that someone would want to play for anyone but the Cowboys befuddles me. Ronald Leary is entitled to want what he wants, and he wants a new home.

Cowboys-Titans Trade Scenarios for Ron Leary

News broke yesterday that Cowboys offensive guard Ronald Leary, stuck in a backup role in Dallas, has requested a trade. In Tennessee, starting offensive lineman Byron Bell was lost for the season to a severe ankle injury. The two events have naturally brought the Cowboys and Titans into the same conversation. We have no idea if the Titans have any interest in Leary. Not only does he have the well-known degenerative issue in his knees but he may be viewed as a system product.

Rumor: Ronald Leary Wants to be Traded

Reputable sources are reporting that Cowboys guard Ronald Leary has requested a trade. Though they are voluntary, he has to report to the team’s practices or activities this offseason. We thought that Leary could get traded sometime before or around the NFL Draft. After all, he was given a Restricted Free Agent tender with a specific trade value of a second-round pick. Though he has degenerative knee issues, Leary has remained healthy thus far and was starter for the Cowboys much-praised offensive line in 2014.

Cowboys Draft: Ronald Leary Opens Up Draft-Trade Doors

The window for restricted free agents to sign offer sheets with their teams has closed, leaving Cowboys Guard Ronald Leary with two options: Sign his 2nd round tender offer with the team Or, sit out the 2016 season Leary decided to sign the tender today, which comes with around a $2.5 million salary for the 2016 season. Leary has been a viable starter for the Cowboys since 2013, but was replaced mid-way through last season by rookie sensation La’el Collins. Collins has shown no sign of slowing down as the Cowboys starting Left Guard, and should be cemented on the line for many years to come.
