Twitter: Cowboys have called Keanu Neal

[Valkyr]

"I loved you -uh - in that John Wick movie"

Agreed. With Neal's injury history, I'd be happy if Dallas brought both him and Kazee in. Let the starters and depth work itself out.

Maybe Hooker also and make it the achillies trifecta.

Honestly, I'd much rather go with overkill than underkill. Hooker, Neal, Kazee and Wilson would allow us to do some mixing and matching as well as give us some injury protection. Of course, I don't think Dallas would ever do it. I expect them to pick up a safety to replace Woods when he's eventually signed in FA ... and I don't know if it will be any of these because someone will probably offer them more than Dallas will play.

Has anyone asked if he picked up the phone?

Lol I posted a few minutes that he didn’t bother answering

You forgot opening with "You have a collect call from......Uh Jerrah Jones.....do you accept the charges?".

Lololol

He's been to a probowl. Busts don't do that.

Jaylon Smith has been to a Pro Bowl... Yeah they do.

Jaylon made the PB too......

Keano Neal is, actually, a serious reach at this stage of his career. He's be tried and found to be wanting. He's history.

No thanks. We need young talents, not used-up ones. Rest assured there will be actual LBs available on draft day.

He's not a bust either

I mean I know he’s had injuries but he’s only 25.

 

[Bullflop]

I mean I know he’s had injuries but he’s only 25.

Well, the fact that he's no longer the dimensions of a DB speaks volumes of his worthiness. The draft is a far better option, imho.

It's entirely possible that a player can be 25 and yet, not capable of satisfying the needs that he did before injuries took their toll.

The Cowboys are simply too willing to accept injured and other players no longer capable of performing the duties they'll have to.

Don't get me wrong, I have compassion for the guy but with football being a sport of injured combatants, some just can't continue.

Several teams showing interest which means the highest bidder gets the prize. That's not what the Cowboys do in FA with other people's players.

Lol, yep I think of the Matrix, one of the best movies ever made, and I think of that Key and Peele movie "Keanu". Arguably not as good as the Matrix but pretty funny.

Neal is a hitter and enforcer. When healthy, he is as good as anyone. He was a pro bowler and then had 2 lost seasons with injury. He managed to play 14 games last year, and would be a HUGE talent upgrade at S.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I’m actually not against the idea of trying Wilson out at free safety and sliding Neal in at SS. He Wilson has demonstrated ball skills and plays with anticipation. I’d challenge anyone to name the last safety we had that actually made plays on the ball.

They hung up once he asked for more than the vet minimum and a bag of peanuts

“Keanu, we’ll accept you paying us $350K a year for the privilege to play for the Cowboys....how’s that sound?” — Jerruh

I think Neal signs today, where who knows.
