Based on his production, Nick Perry would have been more suited being the 228th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft rather than the 28th. He hasn't recorded more than four sacks in any of his four NFL seasons, and while statistics are sometimes misleading, his tape backs up his lack of production. He just sucks.
I didn't think Perry would return for 2016, but the Packers have decided to bring him back for one more year. It's not the worst idea in the world. Perry is still only 25, so there's a chance he could be a late bloomer. Plus, he's not terrible in run support, so having him around for depth is fine. I wouldn't have given him $5 million for one season, but the Packers aren't taking any sort of risk.
