Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 793290">The Packers need to upgrade the talent level at edge rusher but getting rid of both Matthews and Perry next offseason will most likely result in the position group not being improved in 2019. Gutekunst should definitely invest an early draft pick into an outside linebacker though.FYI the Packers would have to release Perry in March and therefore before the draft for them to save any cap space in 2019. He's due a $4.8 million roster bonus on the third day of the league year next offseason and therefore cutting him any later would actually add a hit of $1.2 million towards the team's cap space.Thompson made the right decision re-signing Perry after he had a career year in 2016. Unfortunately he hasn't performed up to the deal but the Packers are most likely stuck with him for at least another season after this one because of a lack of an adequate replacement as well as salary cap implications.</blockquote>
