[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 807201"] The $3.3 mil in cap savings for dropping Perry doesn't buy much even for a 50% snap count rotational 3-4 OLB which is pretty much what Perry was this year, hobbled again by injuries. But isn't there a point where you have to ask if the guy can ever stay healthy? And that's not going to get any easier for him in his 8th. season. I wouldn't rule out the Packers cutting losses here. But if dropping Perry is in conjuction with Matthews walking, there's a lot of work to do at this position. I'd make it a 50/50 proposition. I have mixed feelings about Graham. On the plus side he still draws a lot of attention and I don't see where he's lost that much speed. On the negative side, the guy can't block to save his life and after watching him play for nearly a year I don't believe he's a very smart player or a particularly good route runner. He wins on athleticism. Most of it is still there but not all of it, and I don't see much compensation for that loss through experience. Is there $5.3 mil in cap savings still in the tank? I think that's a 50/50 proposition as well. Any one of the possible cuts listed in the OP are plausible, though I think Daniels might have some trade value. But you can't get rid of all of them or even most of them on top of Cobb and Matthews. Even in a "build for 2020" scenario, creating this many holes can send the whole shebang down the slippery slope. I don't think you can enter free agency and the draft with the roster of players under contract looking like this: QB: Rodgers, Kizer, Boyle WR: D. Adams, Moore, Valdez-Scantling, St. Brown TE: [S]Graham[/S] RB: J. Williams, A. Jones, Carson FB: Vitale OL: Bakhtiari, [S]Bulaga[/S], Linsley, Taylor, [S]Spriggs[/S], Murphy, Madison, Light DL: [S]Daniels[/S], Clark, M. Adams, Lowry, Looney, Lancaster Edge: [S]Perry[/S], Fackrell ILB: Burks, Martinez, Morrison, Crawford CB: Alexander, King, Jackson, Greene, Redmond, T. Brown S: [S]T. Williams[/S], J. Jones, Jamerson ST: [S]Crosby[/S], Davis, Scott, Bradley Of course this list can be supplemented with restricted (RFA) and exclusive rights (ERFA) free agents from the following list who won't cost much, but any impact in that list is purely speculative.
