On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced they had signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Keanu Neal to a two-year contract.
Neal is 27 years old and enters his eighth season with his fourth NFL team. Neal was a first-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons back in 2016 and played like it for his first two seasons.
Pittsburgh signed Neal to replace Terrell Edmunds who signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Steelers also re-signed Damontae Kazee, which along with Neal will make a nice strong-safety tandem to work with All-Pro Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Neal’s success will all hinge on his health. When healthy, Neal is a highly productive tackler. However, he has struggled to stay on the field for a good chunk of his career.
We have signed NT Breiden Fehoko to a one-year contract and S Keanu Neal to a two-year contract. @BordasLaw
