Twitter: Neal signing with Tampa

[America's Cowboy]

He sucked here last year. Glad he's gone. Good riddance.

We have to get a another LB if not two in this draft. LVE and Cox coming off an ACL is not a plan.

 

[snapper]

How will we ever recover from this loss?

Right! Premium defender? I don't think so.

Agreed. That's why I have said Cowboys should target Penn State LB Brandon Smith in the 2nd round, even if they have to add one of their four 5th rounders to move up earlier in the 2nd round to make sure and get him. It's that important.

Then add another LB either in the 4th or 5th.

Should help offset the Washington signing for the comp pick tally.

• Also starting with the 2020 CBA, under App. V, §11, teams may exclude UFAs from the compensatory formula if the player signs a 1 year contract for less than approximately $1.75 million.

But it also means they don't get a comp pick if he leaves next year:

• Starting with the 2020 CBA, under App. V, §10, players who sign Veteran Salary Benefit contracts will not be eligible to become CFAs.

Lmao @ "PREMIUM DEFENDER" Dude was average

Neal was a JAG in Dallas. He became a “premium defender” when he signed elsewhere.

 

[John813]

So I'd assume he'll be a SS there?
Wasn't he saying he wanted to go back to safety?

 

[sunalsorises]

Did Brady approve or is he going to retire again?

I love the headline I just saw: "Buccaneers Sign Former Cowboys Defensive Standout".

Did they watch a single Cowboys game last year? Over half the Tampa Bay media probably didn't even know he was a Cowboy last year.

 

[exciter]

Teams, including ours, kill me trying to square peg players. Position flex triggers me now. Get players that are masters of that position. Converting T to G and S to LB isn't working. I understand Jayron Kearse being a hybrid and all, but position flex is killing me. Also, there are players outside the state of Texas that can play too. I think our FO like stories better than actual players. Premium defender? What a joke.

*note* I'm not saying that Neal is from Texas

LoL, we should release Parsons right now before he embarrasses the entire fan base!!!

"premium defender"

"premium defender"

More like a clearance item marked down for quick sale.

 

[maryquality]

Premium defender???

 

[fivetwos]

Wow I wouldn't trust this dude at safety.

WLB fine...and thats a maybe, but his closing speed is really sub par at this point.

Can't even say he was in the wrong scheme here.

Then again he probably wasn't bad enough to be done in the league and probably worth the risk for Tampa.

Whatever. Not a needle mover.

 

[Flamma]

What is Rapoport's definition of premium?

 

[Xavier187]

Making Quay Walker look better and better

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Pack it up boys, seasons over.

Probably true, but not related to this roster move.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He looked slow and soft last year. That was next to Kearse in comparison but still he was not making plays out there.

 

[CWR]

He already introduced himself to Mike Evans.

That's a hell of a catch if ruled complete. Irvin would've stood up, looked Neal in the eyes and did his Kung ** 1st down signal. Cowboys fans would've gone wild too. Lol

 

[EST_1986]

No he won’t

about 925% more likely to win a ring there than here tho
