Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!!!! Nice signing!

 

[boysfanindc]

Whats funny is they havent played a ton together. I think one full year and then a month this year

And let's hope 16 games this year, well actually 19 games.

 

[Stash]

Best FA signing thus far - by far.

 

[EST_1986]

Nice there’s some life in the front office

 

[CyberB0b]

Is he any good?

He's going to play LB, from safety. Who knows?

 

[Bigdog]

Don’t worry. We sent 4 or 5 guys including Chris Hall for medicals to TCUs pro day yesterday to look at safeties Moehrig and Washington.

And Moehrig back was hurting him yesterday. Hopefully is was just tightness or something minor and not anything major for the kid.

 

[boysfanindc]

I think I read somewhere that Neal is only 25. Harris is 30 (I think).

Harris is 28.

 

[darthseinfeld]

And the other guy we’re interested with a torn Achilles, Malik Hooker.

All three of them have torn their achilles

That's a desired trait in Whitts secondary

 

[This is Our Year]

Would have preferred Hooker/Kazee

We need a FS. Hopefully we’re still in the market

 

[boysfanindc]

He's going to play LB, from safety. Who knows?

Will LB and some box safety.

 

[quickccc]

So does Wilson stay at strong safety. or move him to FS?

Or will neal be free safety?
Frankly I like safeties to be safeties..not being force to be hybrid LBs

We need quality linebackers that need be fine coverage men where we dont need safeties trying to portray as linebackers.

 

[Floatyworm]

Why do we have to pay over market value for guys to come here? I just don't understand.

Harris only gets $5M with the Eagles
King only gets $5M

We have to pay Neal $5M? What the hell?

Why do we have to over pay? You have to ask? ...funny people still assume this is a winning organization. We haven't won anything in over 2 decades. Jerry's legacy will be how he turned America's team into a door mate...

 

[CowboyChris]

another 1 year deal, when the market for players is cheap. glad he signed though

 

[TheSkaven]

If we could get Hooker to sign for a similar deal that would be great

Yep. We’re not done yet. But I’d like to see Kazee. We need a ball hawk.

 

[boysfanindc]

Would have preferred Hooker/Kazee

We need a FS. Hopefully we’re still in the market

This does not exclude those guys they are coming next week.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Beautiful signing!!!! Great value!

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Keanu Neal is a pretty awesome name. Don’t recall seeing him play.

I think we are going with a three safety alignment. Neal is going to play linebacker, where Wilson is our SS and one of Kazee/Hooker plays Free. It was mentioned in the twit that he would be playing weakside if signed by the Cowboys.

 

[RamziD]

Would have preferred Hooker/Kazee

We need a FS. Hopefully we’re still in the market

We have visits next week with both of them. They play a different position than Neal.
