I wish we could place his salary on injured reserve along with him

 

[Mike McCarthy]

Disappointing end to a great season, just shy of the double digit sack numbers so many were predicting.....

 

[elcid]

Brooooo

 

[elcid]

He better agrees to a restructuring of his contract. So we can immediately cut him afterwards lol

 

[Mike McCarthy]

Didn’t see this coming at all.

 

[Mike McCarthy]

Atleast we still have Matthews to rely on.

 

[Jerellh528]

Can’t wait till this dude is off the team.

 

[AKCheese]

Yes how dare he get injured!!

He is what he is.

I think this means Matthews unfortunately stays on the team again because Packers failed to fix the olb issue Hey may take a 1 year deal next year

 

[PackAttack12]

Another Thompson catastrophe.

My guess perry is back next year, due to hit on cap, clay is likely gone. but who knows.

That would really be unfortunate if that’s how it plays out. The 3 million saved by cutting him next year looks better than paying him to be on ir again!!! Hopefully both are gone. Thanks again Ted.

What is the actual cost, not cap hit, if he were on or not on the team next season. At least save the 4th day roster bonus. What else?

Another classic move by TT. Draft a DE and change him to an OLB. I like Perry. Injuries derailed his career. Perry will be back next year his contract has the Packers hands tied.

Teddy made a lot of bad moves recently. Those include the entire 2015 draft, everyone but Cobb in the 2011 draft, Brad Jones 3 yr 12 mil extension, overpaying for the old liar Martellus Bennett, not finding a backup QB after Flynn left both times, and not giving Woodson a pay cut which he was ok with. But giving Perry the Fairy that extension takes the cake by a mile. His best year was his contract year, the first time he recorded more than 4 sacks as a first round outside linebacker ... You then pay him 12 mil per year? This is the type of move senile GM's make. It's going to be awful financially to cut his out of shape tookus, but nothing would please me more to get him off the roster. I'll drive the SOB back to his home to Detroit if that makes the process easier, get him off this roster the first minute you can.

$11Mil in dead cap $, but save $3.6Mil by cutting him. Grab an OLB with one of the 1st rounders and get him onto the field. We know what Perry gives us and it doesn't help.

Honestly, he is never going to come close to earning his pay. It might honestly be a good idea to take the cap hit and move on. The guy is unfortunately a mega bust

 

[rodell330]

I think Perry is my least favorite Packer player of all time. A complete waste of money. BUM

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Who is this Nick Perry guy I keep hearing about? Does he play for the Packers? I don't recall seeing him on the field this year.

 

[OldSchool101]

Datone Jones Jr!

 

[azrsx05]

Kevin King isn't too far behind either. He's a sneeze away from going into the IR
