Twitter: Could the Cowboys give Keanu Neal a shot?

Good post!

Yes, I'm in on signing Keanu, and he's definitely on Quinn's radar. Also, Neal is a SS that can move to Nickel LB on passing downs to add more coverage n speed.

Anytime you can add a dawg to a soft defense, you do that ish.

Isn't he more of a box guy? We need a center fielder.

IS that what "we" need or is that what Quinn needs? I'm genuinely asking...if I Were him I wouldn't want anyone from my old team but its natural for guys to do it....Neal seems like a candidate for that.

I think the defense needs a lot. A safety that plays in the box and can actually play would be nice.

Ask yourself would Quinn "trust" Neal over anybody playing Safety for Dallas last year?

1st round talent at SS vs 6th round talent at SS?

Where's the money coming from?

I mean, D Wilson was a bright spot for me last year. I like him I the box.

Dak's deal cleared a substantial amount of cap space. Originally it looked like about 12 mill was cleared but now it looks more like 15, so plenty of space

Maybe on a vet min deal to compete with Wilson, but if we go into the season with last year's Falcons secondary we're screwed.

 

[JoeKing]

No thank you, not a good fit.

Lots and lots of restructures. Get ready.

Ok great. Let's kick the can down the road again.

*** more rejects at safety and DT

As do I..but I don’t know if it’s enough for me to say his job is safe.

Oh its about round selection huh? Lol

Nah it doesn't have to be safe. I just guarantee Wilson would beat him out badly in a fair competition. Like bad. Neal is just a name.

The cap hasn't been our issue for a while. It's who we pay and who we draft that needs checking.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

The talk about the cap and not having money is tired and not true. Basically with Dak's deal we are out of cap space. But simple restructures to guys that will likely play out their contracts or be here for at least 2-3 years can be done in order to go all in. These are almost guaranteed to happen.

Tank restructure - adds 12m cap space
Zack restructure - 7.4m
Collins restructure - 5.6m

Next most likely
Amari Cooper - 14m
Tyron Smith - 7m
Anthony Brown - 1.6m
Blake Jarwin - 1.6m

Possible but not likely:
Zeke - 6.9m
Jaylon - 5m

Cuts
C. Jones - 2m
G. Zeurlein - 2.1m
D. Thompson - 1.1m
C. Williams - 2.4m (not happening but there is a $$$$ savings...is he that much better than McGovern?)

That is over 68m that can be secured if needed. I would bet on the Tank, Zack and Collins deals, maybe Jarwin and Brown and the cuts of C.Jones and D. Thompson for sure. That is over 31m in space. Which easily will cover the rookie pool and cap hits for two impact free agents.

There are a bunch of other backups that could be cut with savings from 700k to 1m.
