From the article

Leonard is still young enough to develop into a useful NFL backup, although there is little evidence at this stage that he should be considered a legitimate future starter. His rookie contract expires after 2028, and I would be open to retaining him as a third quarterback if he continues progressing.

Leonard has backup potential but Indianapolis should seek a long-term QB elsewhere.

Leonard is young enough at 27 to develop into a useful NFL backup, though there is little evidence he should be considered a legitimate future starter; his rookie contract expires after 2028, and Matt Goncalves would be open to retaining him as a third quarterback if he continues progressing, but Indianapolis needs to look elsewhere for its long-term answer at quarterback.
