TAMPA, Fla. ― It’s a name game that could get confusing. The Bucs haven’t re-signed free-agent safety Logan Ryan. They lost safety Keanu Neal to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Now, here comes Ryan Neal, an undrafted safety from Southern Illinois. Unexpectedly cut adrift as a restricted free agent after four seasons with the Seahawks, Neal on Thursday signed a one-year deal with the Bucs.
At 6-feet-3, 200 pounds, Neal is coming off his best season as a pro, recording a career-high 66 tackles, an interception, a sack and forced fumble in 10 starts with Seattle.
