I'd keep him at half that price. If not. The money would be of much better use on the o line

The organization knew they were getting a monster of a man with feet issues and occasional issues with speed rushers when they drafted him. Instead of catering to what Neal did well at Alabama, Johnson had him learn a completely different technique his rookie season to what he did his entire college career. Then when that didn't work, Johnson and coaches had Neal try a completely different technique this past offseason, and while he was progressing in games this season it wasn't at a fast enough rate. Johnson is almost exclusively responsible for destroying the kid so far and his lazy coaching to have all their guys do something a specific way because its easier to coach, instead of adapting to what his players did extremely well and using that.
Look at tape from Neal in college vs Neal now, his technique is in shambles because of Johnson. It's why the oline is so bad and why not one person has gotten better under him.
They should be using Neal like Orlando Brown Jr or Trent Williams, instead Johnsons just getting a check and ruining our line... So yes Neal has not played well, but whose fault is that really? Obviously a little on him but man kid was dominant for years, and suddenly can't play at all? That's fundamentals and coaching.

I was hoping (though not confident) that his rookie year was just a rough start to the NFL and that he'd improve this year. Instead he has continued to stink, he has continued to be brittle, and he totally insulted the fans. Just an all-around disaster.
