Twitter is a pretty great tool for gathering news and information. It's also a great platform for NFL players to state their interests.

The latter happens to be the case for current Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Ronald Leary. After requesting a trade, Leary scrubbed his Twitter bio from any mentioning of the 'Boys.

Seems like he knows he's on the way out.

In late April, Leary signed his second-round contract tender for one year worth $2.553 million. The Cowboys originally placed the tender on Leary in early March.

The restricted free agent was allowed to sign an offer sheet with another club during free agency with the Cowboys having the right to match. Had Leary signed with another team and the Cowboys didn't match, the team would have received an extra second-round draft pick as compensation in this year's draft.

The Cowboys were trying to trade Leary during the draft, but the team ultimately was unable to do so. Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said the club will still look for trade possibilities with dealing Leary. It'll be interesting to see what Leary's market is and what the 'Boys are able to end up getting for him, if the team does end up trading him.

Leary is contractually obligated to the Cowboys through the 2016 season.
