Fans Are Shocked This Boise Football Star Is An NFL Free Agent

In case you were living under a rock over the weekend, there was a really amazing Rihanna concert televised Sunday afternoon that was, for whatever reason, interrupted by a football game? We couldn't figure it out either--but after further investigation, folks called this "The Super Bowl". Noted.

All jokes aside the Super Bowl was great and now that the football season is officially behind us, fans will begin to talk about players and coaches switching teams and the implications that come with those moves.

In Boise, all anyone really seems to care about are the former Boise State stars in the NFL--and we're here for it. Kellen Moore is now at a new team in Los Angeles, leading their offense.

Having just packed up and left Dallas, another major Boise name is now surfacing in Dallas: Leighton Vander Esch. Not only was Leighton a star on The Blue, he's been a killer for the Dallas Cowboys as well. Just last year, he signed a 1-year, $2-million deal--now, experts are saying he could be worth $10-million a year in a multi-year deal to the Cowboys...or a team that sees his worth.

Here's a look at what fans are saying online!

While most want to see Leighton Vander Esch stay, some still think there are greener pastures to be had for Dallas. 

What's with the Dallas fans always thinking there's something better out there!? Perhaps Kellen Moore should influence his new friends in Los Angeles to bring Leighton Vander Esch over to the Chargers and establish a new Boise State alumni hot spot!

Just weeks ago, in his final game in the NFL, Tom Brady hunted down Leighton Vander Esch on the field, which was a super special moment!
