Packers to sign Adrian Amos

[Deleted member 6794]

As Ian Rapoport just said......2 huge signings, the Packers just got a lot better in the last 24 hours.

That's not possible as they didn't overpay for a veteran within the first 12 hours of the legal tampering period.

OVER THE MOON RIGHT NOW. if we can resign Breeland and add some talented linebackers, both inside and out, we can actually have a very formidable defense next year.

 

[Dantés]

I also have to say this here, or the signing can't officially take place:

GUTE LOOT!!!

 

[Curly Calhoun]

Great move, how are those guys doing that jumped over the cliff just hours ago???

No worries......They'll find something else to be panicked over....Give it time.

 

[C-Lee]

Gute's Plan.

I would be fine with the Packers releasing Williams if they bring back Breeland but it wouldn't be smart to cut Bulaga.

Breeland is the ONLY remaining guy I'm personally a "WE MUST SIGN" honestly. We may find a bargain or two late FA...ala Morrison type guy...perhaps even him again if no one bites on him.

Some more on Amos:

In Amos, the Packers are getting one of the NFL’s most reliable cover safeties while also filling a major need and weakening a division rival.

According to Pro Football Focus, Amos has ranked among the top 10 safeties in coverage grade each of the last two seasons. He was pegged as the No. 11 overall free agent available by the site.

Last season, Amos delivered 73 tackles, two interceptions and nine pass breakups for the Bears’ top defense.

That's not true at all as Perry is due a $5 million roster bonus in a few days which the team wouldn't have to pay if they released him before then.

So do we have 5m more in cap space this year if we cut him before his bonus is due? Would that save roughly 3 + 5m = 8m in cap space this year? In that case, I would consider cutting Perry, but if we were to only gain 3-4m in cap space by cutting Perry I would strongly be opposed. If the case is the former, maybe cutting him can help us bring in a guy like Barrett?

What does the PRSH rating stand for?

The Packers would save $3.3 million in cap space by releasing Perry before his roster bonus is due. Afterwards it wouldn't make any sense to cut him as the move would result in an additional cap hit of $1.5 million for 2019.

Pass rush.

Captain got his Safety! Nice call.

Pass rush.

Thanks for clarifying.

Honestly I seem to be somewhat outnumbered here, but cutting Perry to save 3m seems unnecessary to me given the state of our edge group. I still think he can be productive, especially when he is not our first edge rusher but our 2nd/3rd guy and even if he only plays 50/50 of the games. Seems wiser to me to see how he fares and cut him next year if he goes MIA again. I believe the dead cap is also significantly smaller if we cut him next year.

You have to realize that in total the Packers would save close to $11 million in cap space by releasing Perry before the roster bonus is due.

I'm hyped for these two moves, it does take some pressure off at the draft. I do wonder if we still go edge at 12 tho.

These moves show me that some offensive reinforcements are on their way with some of our draft capitol. Loving the way this is shaping up so far.

I was advocating for Amos as well the whole time just saying and captain can confirm it lol

 

[Mondio]

I like this move quite a bit. Seems I'm not alone

I hope so. I don't think you can have too many good pass rushers.

 

[PackAttack12]

4 years 37 million on Amos with incentives. 14 million in year one, 21 million in first two years.

 

[Mondio]

That doesn't seem out of line to me

 

[Dantés]

If those numbers are correct, then Amos is the bargain of FA thus far.

In my opinion that's a decent deal for the Packers.

If that is true, would be a steal!

No surprise here....

The Packers have told former first-round pick Nick Perry that he will be released, a source told ESPN.

 

[tynimiller]

No way we got Amos for that is there??? Oh calm my beating heart if it is! GUTE FOR POTUS!
