Someone Please, Take Mike Neal!

No one has jumped at the chance to sign Neal and for good reason.

Neal put up 36 tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble while starting 15 games in 2015. Those might be noteworthy totals if he were, say, a rotational player for 16 games in 2015.

But no, Neal played more snaps at outside linebacker than anyone on the Green Bay Packers — more than 800 in all.

By comparison, Nick Perry played approximately half as many snaps and recorded 31 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble. The numbers are virtually the same, except Perry needed half the time to accumulate his.
