Packers re-sign DE/OLB Nick Perry (1 year, $5 million): C+ Grade  

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.

I don't love the 1 year deal. Just kicking the can down the street to what will be a chaotic 2017 offseason.

He's not an OLB, he's 4-3 defensive end with no coverage ability whatsoever. He does set the edge very well and is coming around in his pass rush abilities. The guy should have been drafted by the Bears and we should have had Shea McClellan, who's had to play out of position his whole career too. Funny what these teams do to players.

Decent signing - the one year deal is probably more about durability, before signing him long term.

If he lights it up this year, Ted will extend him before the season is over to a "TT Special" type contract.

It will look like a blockbuster at the time, two years later it will look bargain basement.

Perry had a coming out party last year; very effective when he was in there. Great 1 yr prove it again type deal.

Seriously?

He has a couple good games and he's worth 5 million?

What's next? Eight million for Mike Neal?

It'll be interesting to see the details between the digits because at $5 million that puts him around 29th at OLB with the rest of the NFL. If it is a contract that is worth UP TO $5 million, I think it's a good deal.
