Very misleading post...
Perry contract is very Packer friendly. His base is only $2.3 million and then he is paid on roster/workout bonuses, a super bowl bonus and active bonus that can lead up to $5 million. I don't know the details of Hayward's but I am willing to bet it is not very incentive base and he has $6 million in guaranteed money-- Perry doesn't.
Also, in terms of position. I would lean towards the Packers being a little more thin at OLB than at CB. I believe (and I think a majority agrees) that what we got from Randall and Rollins last year was pretty exceptional play. The arrow is pointing up there with those two and if you want to add Gunter to that it looks even better. Hayward was very limited to only slot coverage and even then he had his downfalls after injury.
Outside linebacker is super thin, especially if we are looking at Clay on the inside again. Bringing Perry back on a 1-year, incentive based deal is pretty good if you ask me...especially since he has shown flashes of finally picking up the position. He's on a cheaper BJ Raji "show me" deal.
