Safety Keanu Neal agrees to one-year deal with Dallas Cowboys, source says

Safety Keanu Neal and the Dallas Cowboys have reached agreement on a one-year, $5 million deal, a source confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.

Neal, 25, has spent all five of his seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, where he played for new Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn after being selected 17th overall in the 2016 draft.

While Neal has played safety in the first five years of his career, there is a possibility the Cowboys could use him as a weak-side linebacker, which would have a domino effect on linebackers Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch.
