Packers Re-Sign Mike Neal

[smuggler]

Didn't see a thread about this. I don't have the details, but I'm pretty excited he's staying!

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Glad we brought him back. I need figures though!

[smuggler]

Sam Shields got elite money because he was our best player in the secondary. Neal was not our best player in the linebacking corps, but he was pretty good.

Not like Ted was spending money elsewhere. Even if we overpay our own....at least we're filling the roster. Overall I like Neal and unlike the piece of manure Jones he's probably has the upside to be worth the money

He deserved to be allowed to return.

He developed and hopefully is developing.

Welcome back for two seasons OLB/DE Mike Neal.

The fact that the financial details for this one aren't available yet bodes well.

I'm good with this one. I think this gives MM some of that flexibility he's talking about, and I think that Neal can get a little better than last year. Remember, he just started learning the OLB position last year. It's a piece of the puzzle - but yes, the puzzle is incomplete.

M3 has mentioend Neal played best at 3-tech, which is weird since he was moved to OLB, so I'm not sure where/how they are planning to play him. I presume he'll push Perry for the OLB spot and on obvious passing downs move him inside to rush. Just a guess. Either way, I think he has a chance to improve and I'll be curious to see how "multiple"/"flexible" the defense gets with Neal.

Two years is a pretty good prove-it contract for GB and a good way for Neal to test FA again soon. Seems like a win-win, assuming he stays healthy and the money isn't crazy. I'd be surprised if he got more than Walden.

I was just thinking that. Kinda like James Jones last deal. Took 5 days to find out.

Mike Neal's deal with #Packers: 2 years, $8M, including a $2.5M signing bonus. Has $1.6M tied up in per-game roster bonuses.

I'm glad he's back too... it's with a grain of salt though. Everyone knows that we're not going to see any improvement out of the defense.

TT and MM are perfectly comfortable fielding a poor defense. In the mean time, Rodgers' window will begin closing soon... tick tock. At least we caught that fart in the wind a few years ago

MM: Say, Ted, should we try to improve the defense this year?

TT: Nah. I'm comfortable fielding a poor defense. It doesn't bother me in the least.

MM: Me neither. I'm fine with our defense being poor. I don't care if they know how to tackle or anything.

TT: Cool.

i can picture that

but only if slocum and capers are on their knees in front of them, going to town

I think we should bug TT's office... you rent a van, and we'll make it into a fake exterminator company. Undercover operation. I'll go in and do some spraying - when I get close to TT's office, you pull the fire alarm, and that should give me enough time to plant some microphones and cameras

Or, you could go running through the halls yelling "There's a FA visiting! He's in the Atrium right now!" and watch everybody go running. That way there's no fire alarm fines or anything.
