---Surprised he didn't take their offer...he's an Indiana guy very close to Chicago.

The 6-foot-3, 285-pound Neal might have been able to play both inside and outside in Chicago’s 4-3 defense. Instead, he’ll continue to be a key front seven player in Green Bay’s 3-4 scheme.



Yeah, instead he'll flex between DL and OLB. Although it wouldn't shock me to see him do time at ILB either.

My gut tells me a lot of 2 year players and up train at least at 2 different positions. More packages. Less plays. Gonna be interesting.

I'm probably higher on Neal than most. I love the guy. Not sure OLB is where you put a guy like him but he sure talks the talk that he likes it.

He's so strong as is Perry and Peppers, and Daniels technique makes him that way also. We have a lot of strong dudes on D. I would love to see Matthews, Perry, Peppers, Daniels and Neal rushing the QB. All of them are strong enough to whip someone one on one and one of them will be.

If Neal had a chance to play for a 4-3 team, I think he should have done it. I think that's his best fit, and his versatility to play DE and DT would be key. I'm guessing the Packers simply offered him more money, which is why he stayed. Neal would have been a nice addition to the Bears defense.

Good for MD Jennings. By going to Chicago he improves the secondary for both teams.

I think Neal may be good, but I am always skeptical of a drug cheat.
