Mike Neal

[Patler]

Has anyone heard a thing about him in free agency? I have looked and can't find any rumor about visits or other teams being interested.

Price is coming down.

[pbmax]

Haven't seen a thing.

[woodbuck27]

I hope TT signs him.

Ted doesn't sign FAs...

j/k

Does Raji's retirement affect the possibility and/or need to sign Neal? Or is Neal an "extra" anyway, with Perry re-signed and Matthews going back outside with Peppers?

I am hoping Neil & Starks resign, then Maybe Cook as a TE free agent

[Pugger]

With Raji taking a hiatus from football I suspect we'll resign Neal soon.

Is Cook worth signing?

[RonWolfGOAT]

I'm afraid we will give the Raji money to Neal. And then some.

My guess is he won't cost much and will help out while a rookie learns the ropes

I value Neal more highly than most of you I guess... guy is a decent pass rusher. Can bend the corner pretty well. Holds the corner well enough to force the QB to step up and collapse the pocket. Even if he doesn't get credit for the sack, I think Neal is a pretty valuable player.

ditto...I like Neal as well.

It won't look good on TT if he slips away.

I think he lost pass rush after he lost weight moving outside. Its kept him healthier but Perry is more of a threat. Still, for an inside outside option with pass rush, he's hard to replace at Elephant. Jones might do it though.

I don't think he has visited any other clubs since FA started so he might not be in great demand.

Were there any reports of Raji having any visits? Yet, in his statement today, he claims to have had several offers other than from the Packers. Do players still go on the interview tours like they did in the past? Do they get good offers without visits, as Raji implied?

The Panthers were said to have interest. That was just in the last day or two, so I doubt he actually visited them. Considering what Raji said, the Packers may have solidified a deal with him before he decided to hang them up.
