Keanu Neal News
Veteran safety Keanu Neal (ribs) is being released with the designation of a failed physical by the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of 2024 free agency. The organization clears $2.25 million in cap space by cutting him. Neal, a former first-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons in 2016, posted 50 tackles, one fumble recovery, and one interception in nine games in his lone season with the Steelers. The 28-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve with a rib injury following the Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers and did not play thereafter. He'll now head to free agency, where he could be joining his fourth team in four years. With former All-Pro safeties Kevin Byard, Eddie Jackson, Justin Simmons, Quandre Diggs, and Jamal Adams on the market, he could have a short list of teams interested after those players reach deals with new teams.
Free-agent safety Keanu Neal is signing with the Buccaneers. Neal played for the Falcons during the first five years of his career, a stint that included consecutive 100-tackle seasons and a 2017 Pro Bowl selection. He inked a deal with the Cowboys last offseason and converted to linebacker under defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, his former head coach in Atlanta. However, Neal wasn't as productive at the position, finishing the 2021-22 campaign with 72 tackles and one sack across 14 games. Nonetheless, if the 26-year-old can stay healthy in Tampa Bay, he has the potential to deliver for IDP managers.
Dallas Cowboys free-agent and former first-rounder Keanu Neal, who played linebacker last year for the Cowboys, is switching back to safety as he looks to re-establish himself as one of the top players at the position. The 26-year-old had 72 tackles (44 solo), four tackles for loss and one sack in 14 games (five starts) last year in his first season playing linebacker. He was a Pro Bowler in 2017 with the Atlanta Falcons and has 100-plus tackles in three of his six seasons in the NFL. Neal has just two interceptions and two sacks in his career, but he could return to being fantasy relevant in IDP leagues with the move back to safety.
