Brandon Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Given that there doesn't seem to be any big rush to open up more cap space, I think they'll likely keep him. 1 1 Quote

If he is released, it saves $2.246 million in cap space for 2023. So Neal's calling card is that he was said (at least a year ago-ish) to be the fastest player on the team. He's a ST gunner (I think - where's @GunnerBill to set us straight on all the ST roles?) or at least filled in for Kumerow, he was taking 77% of the ST snaps. He's our dime back, and Taron Johnson's backup at nickel. So he's versatile. Personally, I don't think the Bills see him as a looming decision. $400 bonus really isn't much in the scheme of things. Neal has 3 roles on the team, so why not bring him into camp and keep him until you have someone else you like better in at least 2 of 3? I think the reason the Bills saved McKenzie's bonus is that they signed someone who can fill his role and they think will be better. I don't see that as having happened with Neal. 6 minutes ago, ColoradoBills said: His salary versus worth sticks out like a sore thumb. Only to people who don't value ST which (checks notes) would not include Beane or McDermott 4 4 1 Quote

I have no concerns with the Bills releasing Neal, but are the Bills working to get a Defensive Lineman in here, another WR, a Safety? Edited March 18, 2023 by Straight Hucklebuck Quote

BillsDad51 Posted March 18, 2023 Author Posted March 18, 2023 Neal tied for team lead with 7 tackles on special teams. 2nd in special teams snaps with 316. 1 Quote
Yantha Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Will be released for sure. Question is if he'll be signed back for a vet minimum after he "tests the market". 2 Quote

MasterStrategist Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Unless they like Cam Lewis as the backup Nickle corner, I can't see us letting Neal go. Neal is one of our best, if not best, S/T core player. He gets too "grabby" on defense, when given the chance, but worth keeping around given his role. 1 Quote

Beane said in his presser Cam Lewis best position is nickel corner, followed by safety, then corner 1 Quote

With Von likely to start the year on PUP and Lawson a FA, that leaves Epenesa, Rousseau and Basham at DE. And DT is really thin, with DaQuan going into his final year, Oliver on his final year and a pay-cut Tim Settle, with Phillips a FA too. SC Bills made a good point about not simply re-signing Lawson and Phillips because the Bills know them, but cutting Neal doesn’t do much for the team if the cap space doesn’t get put to use. Also, there are only (4) NFL worthy WRs under contract - Diggs, Davis, Shakir and Harty, so you’d think the Bills would add one more there. And the Bills are done on the OLine?
