So he got a little less than Clay did in 2013. Seems like a pretty fair contract Cap wise. His injury history is a big concern, but if he can stay on the field as much as he did this last year, this will turn out to be a good signing in a few years.

Now get him and Daniels some more help in the pass rush.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

For better or worse once a good player reaches free agency it's almost always going to require overpaying them. A team is generally going to get a B-tiered player for an A-tiered contract.

The Packers would have been a worse team without Perry. His best asset is his run defense. He disappears as a pass rusher pretty often, like everyone player on the Packers defense. People would be hating on Aaron Rodgers for getting a new deal despite not playing great all of the time, but most don't seem that upset about a similar situation for Perry relative to the difference in costs for the positions. The bottom line is the market speaks for good players because there are so few who even have the potential to be very good to great, and even fewer with the potential to be great consistently for stretches.

So we will be paying around #18 million to the 2 OLB and hopefully get 10 games out of them. See to get big money with Ted Thompson you just have to be injured lol
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Nick and Datone can hold the edge against the run at LOLB. Now let's get someone who can attack the passer from ROLB.

Yep I figured about as much. Perry was a must sign out of desperation and shockingly enough we managed to get him on a decent contract. Hopefully Perry can stay healthy for once too, and and find more consistency this coming season. Now we just need someone across from him
