As Dallas Cowboys veteran offensive guard Ronald Leary is discovering, it’s not always easy to get yourself traded to another team. Especially when you have zero leverage and a degenerative knee condition.
Leary joined America’s Team back in 2012 as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Memphis. After his first offseason in Dallas, he was waived and added to the team’s practice squad. Leary would end up being promoted to the active roster for the final two games of the season.
The 6-3, 320 pound Leary would go on to start at left guard for the Cowboys in the next 31 of their 32 games following his rookie campaign.
