Not a big issue to lose every one of those guys. It would just be finding replacements that fit our team.

Of the unrestricted I think we must sign one of Neal, Perry and Raji. I just can't see us trusting to replace that many starting guys with draft picks and non-Packer FAs. Maybe Ted will prove me wrong.

Zero posted that number the other day. He came up with $22.8M. Of course we need to save money for the season and to sign the draft picks.

I feel like you can let the three of them go. Neal is not really good at anything, just decent at a lot of things. Perry hasn't lived up to his potential (as a 3-4OLB). Have Elliot step in as your third OLB when Matthews moves back outside, have Mulamba there for depth and see if you can find someone, somewhere in the draft.

Next to that, Perry and Raji are injured and dinged up too much to fully rely on them. I feel like that's why Guion got a decent contract, rather than Raji.

We paid Raji $2.5 million, Neal $4.2 million and Perry another $2.4. Since nothing's really changed for those guys, I doubt their market value has gone either up or down. I'd rather keep that $9 million around to spend on one quality player and get some new talent in via the draft.

I think they could lose Raji if they're going to replace him with a high draft pick, however they probably don't have the depth to lose both Perry and Neal imo. Mathews playing OLB again will help but its still a question if he'll regain his speed off the edge or if ILB is his longterm position. Also Peppers isn't getting any younger. Imo you try and get one of Perry/Neal to a friendly 2-3 year deal and put a couple of high picks into Defensive tackle and OLB.

I'm thinking Mike Neal or Casey Hayward will be the next to sign with Packers from the list.

I think we should be fine at OLB anyways with Clay/Peppers, Perry back, Elliott, and Datone if they really do move him over there some. Hayward I see as a starter (I consider slot CB a starter in our defense) if he comes back so unless he's getting some great offer I would like to see him come back in. Everyone else I think we should just let them go regardless of the price tag.

I would rather we get Freeman from the Colts than re-sign any of our other players besides Hayward.
