He is probably the worst cover linebacker in the league (he gave up 2,43 yards per cover snap, by far the most among linebackers. Neal gave up "only" 1,12 yards per cover snap, which also ranks near the bottom). So the problem with Perry is that he is a one-trick-pony. He does have value as a pass-rushing specialist, but not as 3-down linebacker. Neal is definitely not an complete linebacker, but he is better in coverage and a better tackler than Perry. I short, think keeping Neal would be a smart move if the price is right. I would however not be surprised if a 4-3 team picks him up.</blockquote>
