Risk Flags
2- Target/Touch Competition
Even before the injury, Neal was competing with Kendre Miller and Audric Estime just for a third/fourth-string job behind a clear Travis Etienne/Alvin Kamara timeshare; any new team he signs with is likely to present a similarly narrow path to touches.
- Roster Situation
Following the injury settlement, Neal is without an NFL roster spot; standard settlement terms restrict an immediate return to New Orleans, and he must pass a physical and win a job elsewhere before logging any 2026 snaps.
